The elimination of autoreactive T cells in the thymus involves the process of programmed cell death. Animal model studies, using the lpr and gld strains of mice, have identified FAS receptor (FAS) and FAS ligand (FAS-L) as important components of this mechanism. Whether FAS and FAS-L are also implic

## Abstract The biological variation of anti‐TPO and anti‐Tg autoantibodies was studied in 17 clinically and biochemically stable female patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), at regular monthly intervals over a period of 6 consecutive months. The mean and standard deviation (SD), within‐
Cathepsin B (CB) and cathepsin L (CL) are cysteine endopeptidases involved in the processing of thyroglobulin (Tg) in the normal thyroid. As thyroglobulin expression is frequently altered in thyroid carcinomas, we have analyzed 42 human thyroid tissues from 40 patients to study the effect of maligna
