Popis: | Cutaneous insulin allergy remains a clinical problem despite the use of highly purified human insulins. We used in vitro lymphocyte-transformation studies to examine the reactivity of various insulin formulations in diabetic patients with (n = 4) and without (n = 8) cutaneous allergies. Nonspecific response to concanavalin A demonstrated a >40-fold response in both groups. Control patients did not respond to the addition of commercial insulin preparations (stimulation index [SI] |
