The frequencies of islet cell antibodies (ICA) and insulin autoantibodies (IAA) were studied in three clinically well defined groups, using an aprotinin sensitised indirect immunofluorescence assay for ICA and a direct binding solid ELISA for IAA, and the association of these two serological markers for insulin dependent diabetes analysed. Frequency of ICA was 10.7% in siblings of diabetics, 15.5% in discordant identical twins and 65.9% in newly diagnosed diabetic patients. Frequency of IAA was 7.1% in siblings, 46.7% in discordant twins and 38.6% in newly diagnosed diabetic patients. No correlation was demonstrated between the two autoantibodies in the siblings. In the newly diagnosed diabetic patients there were sera positive or negative for both, but 22 (50%) of the sera showed dissociation between the two antibodies. The studies of twins showed that IAA and ICA fluctuated independently with time, and demonstrate the inappropriateness of seeking such an association in cross-sectional surveys. An association could not be demonstrated in this group even if data from multiple samples taken at different points in time were pooled, scoring an individual as positive if at any time their sera had been positive for the corresponding antibody. Thus our data showed no correlation between ICA and IAA in any of the groups studied.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

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.

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.
