Abstract excerpt
A sensitive C-peptide immunoreactivity radioimmunoassay demonstrated the presence of subtle, but definite residual beta-cell function in patients with IDDM of long duration. Although HLA antigens are known to influence susceptibility to IDDM, their contribution to the extent of pancreatic beta-cell destruction has not yet been examined extensively. We studied the relationship between residual beta-cell function...
