Glutamic acid decarboxylase and IA-2 autoantibodies in type 1 diabetes: comparing sample substrates for autoantibody determinations

Abstract: Large-scale programs designed to assess risk for type 1 diabetes through serologic assessment of autoantibodies to recombinant beta-cell autoantigens are hampered by several limitations, including the methods for sample collection and assay performance, as well as the volume required for autoantibody determinations. The present study was designed to develop a low sample-volume, primary screening method for autoantibody detection of high specificity and sensitivity, and to determine the feasibility of dried blo… Show more

“…Subjects and serum samples: Study subjects were participants in the PANDA study (prospective assessment in newborns for diabetes autoimmunity) in the Southeast US [18]. All study subjects were genotyped for HLA-DQB1 and evaluated for three autoantibodies (IA-2A, GADA, and IAA) using established methods [2,19]. Subjects with high-risk genes are monitored for the appearance of islet autoantibodies and clinical diabetes at regular intervals.…”

“…Furthermore, there is limited experience of using these assays with capillary blood. [15][16][17] To overcome this problem, we have collaborated with RSR Ltd., Cardiff, UK, to develop a screening assay for one-shot detection of autoantibodies to the target antigens glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 (GAD65), insulinoma-associated antigen 2 (IA-2) and zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) using a sample volume suitable for capillary blood collection. This assay allows us to identify children positive for at least one of these autoantibodies; these children can then be followed through further screening for autoantibodies to GAD65, IA-2, ZnT8 and insulin for the diagnosis of pre-type 1 diabetes.…”

“…In DASP 2005, our in-house RIA-GADA assay gave a sensitivity of 76% and a specificity of 91% for serum samples, and our in-house RIA-IA-2A assay gave a sensitivity of 72% and a specificity of 100%. GADA and IA-2A have been analysed in whole blood eluates with RIA assays with high performance [18, 19]. …”
