Abstract:	The article discusses thyroglobulin, a large protein found exclusively in cells of the thyroid gland, and researcher Ernest Witebsky gave his student Noel Rose the task of identifying the properties that made this molecule unique to the endocrine organ. It mentions that rabbits generated antibodies against the thyroglobulin as their immune systems reacted to the foreign substance.
