It is probable that the more recently discovered immunoglobulins, all in the IgG class, such as long-acting thyroid stimulator (LATS) and LATS protector, should be classified as thyroid autoantibodies and discussion on these follows in the next section.

By determining the radioactivity in blood samples 9-24 h after the material to be assayed has been injected, it is also possible to assay the long-acting thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (LATS). 

In addition to these three autoantibodies, there is a protein known as long-acting thyroid stimulator (LATS). This can also be considered as a thyroid autoantibody since it is an immunoglobulin which causes overstimulation of the thyroid...
