Abstract excerpt
The natural history of preclinical diabetes is partly characterized, but there is still limited information on the dynamics of the immune response to beta-cell autoantigens during the course of preclinical disease. The aim of this work was to assess the maturation of the humoral immune response to the protein tyrosine phosphatase(PTP)-related proteins (IA-2 and IA-2beta) in preclinical type I diabetes (TID)....
