Thyroid antibody-dependent cytotoxicity has been reported in autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). Indeed, the role of thyroperoxidase (TPO) autoantibodies (aAbs) in complement-mediated damage by binding to TPO expressed on the surface of human thyroid cells was demonstrated, whereas their activity in antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) is not well established.
