Purpose To study in vivo effects of the human monoclonal TSH receptor (TSHR) autoantibodies M22 (stimulating type) and K1-70 (blocking type) on thyroid hormone levels in rats. Methods Serum levels of total T4, free T4, M22 and K1-70 were measured following intramuscular injection of M22 IgG (2-4 lg/animal), K1-70 IgG (10-200 lg/animal) or both into rats. Thyroid pathology was assessed in M22-injected rats. Results Serum levels of total T4 and free T4 increased in a dose-dependent manner following injection of M22 IgG. Thyroid follicular cell hypertrophy was dependent on the dose of M22 IgG. K1-70 IgG caused a dose dependent decrease of total T4 and free T4 levels in rats receiving K1-70 only. The stimulating effects of M22 IgG on T4 levels in rats were completely inhibited by K1-70 IgG. Conclusion M22 is a potent stimulator of thyroid hormone secretion in vivo. In contrast, K1-70 inhibits thyroid hormone secretion in vivo. Furthermore, K1-70 has the ability to inhibit the stimulating activity of M22 in vivo and as such has potential as a new drug to block TSHR stimulation by autoantibodies in Graves' disease.
