Popis: Different autoimmune mechanisms may be involved in childhood- and adult-onset type 1 diabetes. Our aim was to explore the differences in IA-2 autoantibody epitope recognition between childhood- and adult-onset type 1 diabetes. Therefore, in vitro synthesized radiolabeled IA-2ic (amino acid 601-979), IA-2JM (amino acid 557-629), and IA-2PTP (amino acid 630-979) were used to analyze the IA-2 autoantibody epitope specificities in 93 patients with new-onset type 1 diabetes. Among 93 patients with type 1 diabetes the prevalences of autoantibodies to GAD, IA-2ic, and insulin were 69.9%, 58.1%, and 45.2%, respectively. The prevalence of IA-2ic autoantibodies in patients with childhood-onset type 1 diabetes (aged
