Abstract
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in humans, BB rats (MARLISS 1983), and nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice (MAKINO et al. 1980) is characterized by immune abnormalities leading to self-destruction of the insulin-producing islet β cells. These abnormalities have been observed in the cell-mediated as well as in the humoral immune response. Two major types of auto-antibodies have been reported, namely, islet cell cytoplasmic (ICA; BOTTAZZO et al. 1974; MAUISH et al. 1974) and islet cell surface antibodies (ICSA; LERNMARK et al. 1978). In this chapter we will review data on experimental monoclonal antibodies to islet cells with a special emphasis on autoantibodies derived from the BB rat.
