If you are asking about the standard antibody tests uses to help decide if you have Hashimoto's, then they are:
Thyroglobulin antibodies
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies
There are various ways of writing them such as TPOab and TGab - somewhat inconsistently used.
Other antibodies can be important in, for example, Graves', so I might not have answered your question.
