The prevalence of islet cell antibodies in children with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes was determined in a cohort of 678 children. The natural course of islet cell antibodies was followed in 375 children at 1 year, 252 and 135 children after 2 and 3 years respectively. Islet cell antibodies we

Sera from 40 Swedish children diagnosed as having Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus during a one year period along with 40 age and geographically matched control subjects were tested for antibodies to a Mr-64,000 islet protein by immunoprecipitation of 35S-methionine-labelled rat islet am
Islet cell antibodies and glutamic acid decarboxylase II (GAD II) antibodies have been discussed in the autoimmune pathogenesis of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Hence, immunosuppressants, intravenous immunoglobulins, and plasmapheresis have been used in an effort to modulate autoimmune
The role of complement in the pathogenesis of diabetes was studied in 31 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic children by assaying serum islet cell surface antibody, C3, C4 and serum complement-dependent antibody-mediated cytotoxicity. Nine of 21 islet cell surface antibody-positive children were wit
