Popis: Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and tyrosine phosphatase IA-2 antibody levels were measured in 375 healthy children and adults and in 187 children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). GAD antibody levels were determined by radioimmunoassay, and IA-2 antibody levels by immunoprecipitation. Healthy children had higher GAD antibody levels than adults (p < 0.001). The 98th percentile was 1.60 U/ml in children and 1.16 U/ml in adults. IA-2 antibody levels did not differ between these two cohorts. Children with DM had higher GAD and IA-2 antibody levels than healthy children (p
