Evidence for a restricted idiotypic and epitopic specificity of anti-thyroglobulin autoantibodies in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis\* Anti-thyroglobulin (TG) autoantibodies from patients with autoimmune thyroiditis express a cross-reactive a idiotype (Id) termed T44 which is not expressed by I
