Abstract Background: We compared the analytical and clinical performance of 3 porcine thyroid receptor antibody (TRAb) methods (1 second- and 2 new third-generation systems) with the conventional TRAb assay based on the human recombinant TSH receptor (hTRAK). Patients and Methods: We obtained sera from 86 patients with untreated Graves disease (GD) and 71 healthy controls. We measured TRAb concentrations by radioreceptor assay using the hTRAK (Brahms) or the porcine TSH receptor (pRRA) from Beckman-Coulter, by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) with the Elecsys/Cobas (Roche), and by ELISA using the Medizym TRAb clone (Medipan). Results: Between-run assay imprecision was ≤10% and ≤7.6% for hTRAK and ECLIA, but reached 14% and 14.9% for ELISA and pRRA, respectively. Maximal specificity and sensitivity close to 100% were obtained for hTRAK, ECLIA, and ELISA. pRRA failed to detect positive TRAbs in 5 GD patients. Although calibrated against the same reference standard 90/672, the assays displayed a high intermethod variability. The results were significantly higher by ECLIA and lower by ELISA and pRRA compared with hTRAK. Patients with ophthalmopathy had higher TRAb results by ELISA and pRRA than those without eye disease. Conclusions: Second- and third-generation TRAb assays had similar diagnostic sensitivities in the diagnostic evaluation of GD. Despite the use of the same reference standard for calibration, high intermethod variability in TRAb assay results was seen in untreated GD patients. Assay harmonization is necessary for correct interpretation in the follow-up of Graves ophthalmopathy.

Abstract. An immunoprecipitation assay was developed to determine the presence of antibodies against human TSH1 receptors. With this assay we were able to demonstrate that in comparison with sera from normal controls, 24 out of 30 (80%) sera from patients with untreated Graves' disease could immunoprecipitate more [125I]TSH-TSH receptor complexes. In 9 assays, an average of 14.1 ± 3.7% (sd) of the [125I]TSH-TSH receptor complexes was immunoprecipitated by the 30 Graves' sera vs 9.8 ± 3.0% by the normal pool serum (n = 23) (P < 0.001) and 7.7 ± 2.8% by the 22 normal sera (P < 0.001). One serum of the 24 positive Graves' sera was studied in detail. The results suggest that this serum contained an anti-TSH receptor auto-antibody directed towards a different determinant on the TSH receptor than the TSH binding site.
