Lymphocyte populations enriched for (or depleted of) a receptor for thyroglobulin (Tg) have been prepared from Hashimoto peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBM) by rosetting with Tg coated erythrocytes. Removal of Tg binding cells from PBM or B cell preparations resulted in greater than 85% reduction in their ability to synthesize Tg antibody when stimulated with pokeweed mitogen (PWM) or EB virus (EBV); the depletion was specific since the ability of Tg receptor negative cells to secrete microsomal antibody and total IgG was unimpaired. Hashimoto lymphocytes (PBM or B cells) enriched for Tg binding cells produced only small amounts of Tg antibody when cultured with PWM even in the presence of irradiated T cells and monocytes; exposure to autoantigen followed by mitogen appeared to be inhibitory. However, the Tg receptor positive fraction was readily activated by EBV to synthesize Tg antibody with a specific activity 4-10 times higher than that secreted by unfractionated lymphocytes. The ability to isolate Tg specific B cells from peripheral blood will facilitate the development of EBV transformed cell lines secreting monoclonal Tg antibody and such antibodies will provide invaluable probes in the investigation of autoimmune thyroid disease.
