The effect of thyroid stimulation blocking antibody (TSBAb) on stimulated cyclic AMP (cAMP) production induced by adenylate cyclase stimulators in porcine thyroid membrane (PTM) and porcine thyroid cells (PTC) has been studied. Ten TSBAbs with high TSH binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII) activities significantly blocked TSH-stimulated cAMP production in PTC. The blocking effect of TSBAb on the cAMP increase induced by forskolin or GTP-gamma S stimulation in PTC was found in a few cases. However, there was no blocking action of TSBAb on the cAMP increase stimulated by forskolin, GTP gamma S, or NaF in isolated PTM. When TSBAb-globulin was absorbed with PTM or guinea pig epididymal fat membrane (GPFM), the TBII activity in TSBAb-globulin was significantly absorbed by these membranes. A decrease of TSBAb activity (blocking activity for TSH-stimulated cAMP production in PTC) by PTM absorption, but no decrease by GPFM absorption, was found in six cases. This suggests that the potent TSBAb-neutralizing component may be associated with a non-TSH receptor site in the thyroid membrane. The other four cases showed a decrease of TSBAb activity by absorption with both PTM and GPFM. This suggests that the TSBAb-neutralizing activity may be associated with the TSH receptor site of both PTM and GPFM. The results of the present study suggest that TSBAb may block TSH action either via the TSH receptor itself or via a non-TSH receptor component of the thyroid membrane and not at a postreceptor level.
