Article Highlights:
In global type 1 diabetes (T1D) population screening studies, there is an urgent need for a highly sensitive and specific insulin autoantibody (IAA) assay that can be implemented across multiple laboratories. This study aimed to develop and characterize a novel ELISA-based platform for IAA detection. We established a new bridging ELISA for IAA and validated it in cohorts of patients with stage 3 T1D, children positive for with multiple and single islet antibodies, and control children negative for islet autoantibodies. The bridging ELISA-IAA assay demonstrates excellent sensitivity and specificity, preferentially identifies high-risk individuals, and offers a practical, scalable solution for T1D population screening and clinical diagnosis across laboratories.

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or...
Diabetes Mellitus: Overview and Type I Subtype
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, the body is unable to produce sufficient insulin, and individuals with...
