Non-human pancreas as substrate for cytoplasmic islet cell antibodies. 1991

To investigate qualitative and quantitative differences in islet cell antibody (ICA) detection within and between species we evaluated 8 pancreatic substrates (2 human, 2 baboon, 2 macaque, 1 pig and 1 rat). All substrates were able to detect strongly positive sera (with ICA greater than 160 JDF units). Non-human primate pancreata showed a larger size and greater abundance of islets than human, pig or rat. Significant differences in end point titter were observed both within and between species. In comparing the two best pancreata (1 human and 1 macaque) in masked screening of 50 normal controls and 108 nondiabetic first degree relatives of type 1 diabetics, very similar results were obtained. We concluded that pancreatic substrates from a variety of species may be useful for detection of ICA. This study, however, underscores the need for between and within assay standardization of ICA such as those currently underway in the International Immunology of Diabetes Workshops and Proficiency Tests.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

D010215 Papio A genus of the subfamily CERCOPITHECINAE, family CERCOPITHECIDAE, consisting of five named species: PAPIO URSINUS (chacma baboon), PAPIO CYNOCEPHALUS (yellow baboon), PAPIO PAPIO (western baboon), PAPIO ANUBIS (or olive baboon), and PAPIO HAMADRYAS (hamadryas baboon). Members of the Papio genus inhabit open woodland, savannahs, grassland, and rocky hill country. Some authors consider MANDRILLUS a subgenus of Papio.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
