Autoantibodies to the insulin- and IGF1-receptor in human sera

Year: 2013

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: References Material and Methods ConclusionsOur studies demonstrate a prevalence of around 5% for aAB to IGF1R and IR in the analyzed sera.We found an unexpected high correlation of samples being simultaneously positive for IGF1R-and IR-aAB.These findings may be of clinical relevance for the current diabetes epidemic, but further analyzes are needed to test this hypothesis with patient sera.
