Abstract

Several abnormal thyroid stimulators have been found in serum of patients with Graves’ disease. These are known as LATS (long-acting thyroid stimulator) [1], LATS-protector [2], TSI (thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin) [3], HTS (human thyroid stimulator) [4], or HTACS (human thyroid adenyl cyclase stimulator) [5]. These thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins are believed to bind to a receptor site in the thyroid gland.
