Presence of anti-insulin reaginic auto-antibodies of the IgG4 class in insulin-dependent (type I) diabetic patients before insulin therapy.
1993
The autoimmune aetiology of type I diabetes has been well documented. We studied whether anti-insulin anaphylactic antibodies were present on the membrane of basophils from type I diabetics by the toluidine blue method (detecting basophil activation after stimulation by insulin). We observed that basophils of recently diagnosed insulin-dependent diabetic patients (n = 13) were statistically more frequently activated by insulin than basophils from nonin-sulin-dependent diabetics (p
