Identification of T1D-specific Fab fragments of IA-2 dominant conformational epitope

One of the primary characteristics of Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is the presence of autoantibodies directed to self-antigens expressed in the pancreatic islets, specifically those associated with the insulin secretory machinery. Although T1D is well characterized as a T-cell mediated disease, a mechanistic role of islet autoantibodies generated during the progression of T1D have not […]
