    Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) activity is lower in Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. TSI levels differ from classic thyroid antibodies and are affected by treatments like radioactive iodine and propylthiouracil.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Immunology
    • Thyroidology

    Background:

    • Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) plays a key role in autoimmune thyroid diseases.
    • Understanding TSI activity is crucial for diagnosing and managing conditions like Graves' disease.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To measure TSI activity in patients with Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and thyroid cancer.
    • To compare TSI levels with normal controls and assess the impact of treatments on TSI activity.

    Main Methods:

    • Radioreceptor assay was used to measure TSI activity in patient sera.
    • TSI index was analyzed in untreated patients and those undergoing 131I or propylthiouracil treatment.
    • Correlation with thyroid antibodies (microsomal and thyroglobulin) was examined.

    Main Results:

    • TSI index was significantly lower in untreated Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis compared to controls.
    • Thyroid cancer patients showed no significant difference in TSI index.
    • 131I treatment initially decreased TSI, then increased it, while propylthiouracil treatment steadily increased TSI towards normal levels.
    • Both treatments decreased Free T4 index values.
    • No significant relationship was found between TSI index and classic thyroid antibodies.

    Conclusions:

    • Immunoglobulin Gs that displace TSH binding are present in Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis sera.
    • These immunoglobulins are distinct from traditional antithyroid antibodies.
    • Radioactive iodine treatment for Graves' disease may temporarily stimulate TSI production.
