Thank you for your query.
TBII stands for thyrotopin binding inhibitory immunoglobulins. TBII block the stimulation of thyroid by TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) and thus "block thyroid hormone production."
Conversely, TSI (Thyroid Stimulating Immuniglobulin) stimulates thyroid gland to produce excessive thyroid hormones.
hope , you understood the difference.
