An ECL-based Autoantibody Assay for Early Diagnosis of T1D Using a Membrane-spanning ZnT8 Antigenic Domain

Unmet NeedApproximately 1.25 million people in the US have type 1 diabetes (T1D) and the rates of newly diagnosed cases in children are on the rise each year. T1D is caused by the development of an autoimmune reaction to pancreatic β cells. The first detectable sign of β cell autoimmunity is the appearance of diabetes-associated autoantibodies, which...

Full-Length Znt8 Self-Antigen for Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis

Unmet NeedType I diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by destruction of pancreatic beta-cells, leading to insulin deficiency and high blood glucose levels. In 2015, 1.3 million Americans had T1D, with approximately 1.5 million new cases of diabetes diagnosed each year. Despite advances in research, the incidence of T1D in children...
