Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Autoantibody Detection by Electrochemiluminescence Assay Identifies Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults with Poor Islet Function

Abstract: Background: The detection of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) autoantibodies is essential for the prediction and diagnosis of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). The aim of the current study was to compare a newly developed electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-GAD65 antibody assay with the established radiobinding assay, and to explore whether the new assay could be used to define LADA more precisely. Methods: Serum samples were harvested from 141 patients with LADA, 95 with type 1 diabetes mellitus, … Show more

“…For the purpose of this classification, all forms of diabetes mediated by autoimmune b-cell destruction are included under the rubric of type 1 diabetes. Use of the term LADA is common and acceptable in clinical practice and has the practical impact of heightening awareness of a population of adults likely to have progressive autoimmune b-cell destruction (16), thus accelerating insulin initiation prior to deterioration of glucose control or development of DKA (6,17).…”

“…We believe that, by using a more disease-specific assay with high sensitivity like the ECL assay, the predictive value of IAbs will be greatly enhanced overall and, particularly, a single IAb identified in such a high-affinity assay will be expected as a reliable biomarker for early prediction and disease staging of T1D. This new methodology of ECL assay for IAbs has recently been implemented by several other laboratories with the results demonstrated at the 2020 IASP workshop (unpublished data) and a recent published study of the Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adults cohort ( 20 ). Several other IAb assay methods, in addition to RBA, like the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( 21 ), antibody detection by agglutination–polymerase chain reaction ( 22 ), and the luciferase immunoprecipitation system ( 23 ) have been reported.…”
