Summary The prevalence of TSH-receptor antibodies and of thyroid autoantibodies was studied in 48 HLA-typed patients with Graves' disease, who were in an euthyroid state after antithyroid therapy with methimazole. TSH-receptor antibodies, which were found in 35% of the patients, did not correlate with the positivity of HLA B8. By contrast the persistence of thyroid microsomal antibodies was significantly associated with HLA B8.
