The autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells generally occurs over a period of time leading to the eventual onset of overt diabetes mellitus. During this extended pre-clinical phase, the characteristic circulation of autoantibodies against a variety of islet cell antigens including glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65), IA-2 (a tyrosine phosphatase-like protein), and insulin provides early markers of autoimmune disease activity.
The KRONUS GADAb RIA Assay Kit is for the semi-quantitative determination of glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody in human serum. The KRONUS GADAb RIA Assay is useful as an aid in the diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes mellitus (autoimmune mediated diabetes).
