TSHR peptides used to investigate recognition of linear antibody in the present and previous studies (for example [15]).

Ectodomain peptides are referred to as A-Z and extracellular loop peptides as EC1-2. Peptides corresponding to the mouse TSHR (14) are included from the end of the A-subunit (the immunogen; residue 289 to the membrane and EC1 and EC2. Abbreviations:- hu, human TSHR residues; mo, mouse TSHR residues;*identical peptides (human and mouse, hu & mo); amino acid differences in the mouse TSHR in bold.
