Time-resolved fluorometric assay for detection of autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65)

From: Clinical Chemistry | Date: June 1, 2003| Author: | Copyright information

Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus results from destruction of the pancreatic insulin-producing beta cells by a chronic autoimmune process. Methods are needed for the detection of circulating autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), a major marker of this process.

Methods: Streptavidin-coated microtiter plates were incubated with biotinylated GAD65, and after incubation with serum samples from patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and control individuals, europium-labeled GAD65 was added. After washing steps, the delayed fluorescence was measured in duplicate in a ...
