Notably, TPO036 demonstrated enhanced Fc\u03b3RIIa reporter signaling and, following conversion to an F(ab\u2032)2 format, competitively inhibited Fc-mediated reporter activation. Direct TPO activity assays demonstrated that representative antibodies produced either no or only minimal inhibition of TPO enzymatic activity under the conditions tested. These findings indicate that competition-defined anti-TPO antibody groups within a single-donor repertoire can exhibit distinct functional profiles, particularly with respect to Fc-mediated reporter responses, without evidence of broad inhibition of TPO catalytic activity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, our results support the existence of intra-individual, epitope-associated functional heterogeneity among anti-TPO antibodies and provide a proof-of-concept foundation for future studies evaluating epitope-targeted and Fc-modulating strategies in physiologically relevant models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/cei\/uxag054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]],"date-time":"2026-09-04T11:18:52Z","timestamp":1788520732000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Epitope-Specific Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies Reveal Functional Heterogeneity Within a Patient-Derived Monoclonal Repertoire"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"given":"Yingxue","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jinan University First Affiliated Hospital , Guangzhou ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-4402-0302","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"XinYi","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jinan University First Affiliated Hospital , Guangzhou ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Service Biotechnology Co.,Ltd , Guangzhou ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jinan University College of Life Science and Technology , Guangzhou ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huayu","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Foshan Women and Children Hospital Women and Children Medical Research Center , Guangdong ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lihong","family":"Nie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jinan University First Affiliated Hospital , Guangzhou ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaomin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jinan University First Affiliated Hospital , Guangzhou ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jinan University First Affiliated Hospital , Guangzhou ,","place":["China"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,6]]},"container-title":["Clinical and Experimental Immunology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/cei\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/cei\/uxag054\/70969122\/uxag054.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"am","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/cei\/advance-article-pdf\/doi\/10.1093\/cei\/uxag054\/70969122\/uxag054.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,6]],"date-time":"2026-09-06T06:48:56Z","timestamp":1788677336000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/cei\/advance-article\/doi\/10.1093\/cei\/uxag054\/8786291"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,6]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/cei\/uxag054","relation":{},"ISSN":["0009-9104","1365-2249"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0009-9104","type":"print"},{"value":"1365-2249","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,6]]},"article-number":"uxag054"}}
