We examined the proportions of B lymphocytes bearing CD5 cell surface antigen (CD5+ B cells), which are capable of making autoantibodies, in peripheral blood from patients with various thyroid diseases. The level of CD5+ B cells was markedly increased (>9.0%) above the normal range (0.5-7.7%) in untreated, hyperthyroid patients with Graves' disease, although about 10% of the patients had no detectable serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor antibody (TRAb). However, the levels of CD5+ B cells were normal in untreated patients with destructive thyrotoxicosis due to aggravation of Hashimoto's thyroiditis or subacute thyroiditis. In patients with stimulated hyperthyroid Graves' disease the levels of CD5+ B cells were correlated with those of thyroid hormones and TRAb, all significantly increased. However, once hyperthyroidism was controlled by anti-thyroid drugs, CD5+ B cells were decreased, followed in turn by reduction of TRAb. We conclude that the proportion of CD5+ B cells is useful as a therapeutic index and for diagnosis of Graves' disease and its differentiation from destruction-induced thyrotoxicosis.
