• LATS activity was neutralized by pretreatment of mice with anti-IgG <I>in vivo</I>. Simultaneous injection of epsilon-amino caproic acid and hydrocortisone does not inhibit LATS action. Human thyroid-microsomal fractions neutralize LATS activity and TSH activity. The decrease in activity of LATS and TSH caused by thyroid microsomes correlates positively. Calf thyroid microsomes are much less active than human thyroid microsomes in absorbing LATS activity. Deoxycholate and sonification solubilize the LATS neutralizing activity. No visible precipitate formed between these solubilized fraction and LATS-IgG, using the Ouchterlony agar diffusion method. LATS did not differ from TSH in heat stability, and partially heat denatured LATS still had a long acting type response. Dissociation of a small rapidly acting molecule from LATS could not be obtained in high molar NaCI solution. LATS-IgG fragments digested by proteolytic enzymes (papain, pepsin, trypsin, and ficin) had a prolonged response like LATS. However, these fragments, in the presence of cysteine, either gave the same response after 2 hr and 8 hr, or gave a short acting response like TSH. The thyroid stimulating active site of the LATS active gamma globulin may be situated in Fab or Fab fragments having the antibody combining site. LATS did not stimulate the chicken thyroid, although TSH had this action. The proteolytic fractions of LATS-IgG also did not stimulate the chicken thyroid. No increase of gammaglobulin and/or IgG was found in some sera with a high LATS activity. Binding of LATS-IgG to mouse or human thyroid could not be visualized using the Coons immunofluorescent method. These data support the concept that LATS is an IgG having a high specific activity of thyroid stimulating action.
