Abstract excerpt
Autoimmunity precedes clinical type 1 diabetes, and indicators of maturing autoimmune responses may be useful markers for disease prediction. To study this, epitope maturation of autoantibodies to the related protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-like autoantigens IA-2 and IA-2beta was examined in s...
