Molecular Targets of the Autoimmunity of Type I Diabetes

  • Chapter
Molecular Biology of Diabetes

Abstract

One feature of many autoimmune diseases is a humoral autoimmune response against multiple antigens of a given tissue. Although the pathogenic significance of autoantibodies in type I diabetes is unclear, they serve both as essential markers that an autoimmune response has been initiated and as probes to identify their target autoantigens (1–5).
