Immune Mechanisms In Graves' Disease
Abstract
GRAVES' DISEASE is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of stimulatory anti-TSH receptor antibodies which are thought to act via the TSH receptor to increase iodide uptake and cyclic AMP (cAMP), in turn, resulting in T3 and T4 production and secretion (1–7). There have been many clinical articles published summarizing the clinical and laboratory manifestations of Graves' disease (1–7) and excellent reviews of “Autoimmune Thyroid Disease” by Weetman and McGregor (2) and of “Endocrine Ophthalmopathy” by Jacobson and Gorman (8) have been published recently. The purpose of the present review is to discuss in detail the known and suspected immunologic mechanisms which are important in mediating or aggravating Graves' disease and its associated clinical findings. This review will emphasize that our present understanding of normal immune mechanisms of antibody formation, in addition to our comprehension of the perturbations leading to Graves' disease, is inadequate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
