Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glutamate to ␥-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Anti-GAD antibody (GAD-Ab) is considered to be a marker for stiff person syndrome (SPS), 1 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), and polyendocrine autoimmune syndrome. 2 Add

Some patients with non-insulin-dependent (Type 2) diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) are positive for antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (anti-GAD), which have been shown to be a useful marker for the diagnosis and prediction of insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Anti-GAD positive NI
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
## Background: We tested a panel of novel serological anti-glycan antibodies including the previously unpublished anti-laminarin iga (anti-l) and anti-chitin iga (anti-c) carbohydrate antibodies for the presence in crohn's disease (cd) patients, diagnosis and differentiation of cd, association with
