This anti-thyroxine antibody is developed using thyroxine-KLH conjugate as the immunogen, and affinity purified with antigen-specific affinity chromatography. The mouse monoclonal antibody can be utilized for detection, quantification, affinity isolation and purification of thyroxine in biofluid.

Thyroxine, also called 3,5,3′,5′-tetraiodothyronine, or T4, one of the two major hormones secreted by thethyroid gland (the other is triiodothyronine). Thyroxine’s principal function is to stimulate the consumption of oxygen and thus the metabolism of all cells and tissues in the body. Thyroxine is formed by the molecular addition of iodine to the amino acid tyrosine while the latter is bound to the protein thyroglobulin. Excessive secretion of thyroxine in the body is known as hyperthyroidism, and the deficient secretion of it is called hypothyroidism
