The relationship between insulin autoantibodies (IAA) and pancreatic islet cell histology was examined in 71 diabetes prone BB rats from the Toronto colony. Twenty-seven of the 71 became diabetic and of these, 18 (67%) were IAA positive by ELISA. IAA were also detected in 39/44 (89%) which did not develop diabetes, but in none of six control animals at 50-140 days of age. All 27 which became diabetic showed some evidence of lymphocytic infiltration scored + to ++++ histometrically and 26/27 evidence of beta cell degranulation. The frequency of diabetes increased with both intensity of insulitis and degree of beta cell degranulation, but there was no correlation between either and IAA. IAA are a marker for the BB strain of Wistar rat, but do not correlate with islet cell histology and do not predict clinical diabetes.
