ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to the discovery of antigenic cross reactivity between a pancreatic 64K autoantigen and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD). Autoantibodies toward GAD were found to be associated with insulin dependent diabetes (IDD). More specifically, the invention pertains to the use of GAD for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of insulin dependent diabetes (IDD).
