“…Three patients tested positive for GAD antibodies, no patients tested positive for IA-2 antibodies and three patients tested weakly positive for insulin antibodies. Thus, the prevalence rates of antibodies against GAD, IA2 and insulin in the study population are not significantly different from those for the general population [7][8][9] or those for a population of patients with type 2 diabetes [11,12]. Moreover, antibody-positive patients were not diagnosed with diabetes, and none of the subjects tested positive for more than one antibody, a result that is generally considered to be highly predictive of type 1 diabetes.…”

“…After fasting overnight, patients underwent a standardised OGTT. Autoantibodies against GAD, IA-2, and insulin were measured in serum by RIAs [7][8][9]. Patients with pre-existing diabetes were exempt from the OGTT, but had blood samples taken for determination of autoantibodies.…”

“…These diagnostic and predictive abilities did not naturally present themselves, as much of the early literature regarding autoantibodies in type 1 diabetes was subject to controversies and conflicting information-factors due in large part to variances in the methods and substrates used for autoantibody detection. Considerable advances toward overcoming these difficulties came through the voluntary performance of many investigators in more than a dozen international autoantibody workshops, often organized under the auspices of the Immunology of Diabetes Workshops, an organization that later became known as the Immunology of Diabetes Society (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15). Among their many findings, these workshops validated insulin, GAD, and IA-2 as autoantigens associated with type 1 diabetes in humans; identified sensitive and specific methods for autoantibody measurement; and introduced reference standards for diabetesassociated autoantibodies.…”

“…Инсулин -маленькая молекула (масса всего 5800 Да); при сорбции ее конформация нарушается, и многие антигенные детерминанты становятся недоступными для сывороточных антител к инсулину. Низкая ДЧ им-муноферментных тест-систем для определения IA, рабо-тающих по описанному выше принципу, неоднократно отмечалась в литературе [13,14].…”
