Anti-neutrophil cell antibodies in newly diagnosed patients with type-1-diabetes

Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes. 1999;107(5):328-9. doi: 10.1055/s-0029-1212121.

Abstract

Both anti neutrophil cell antibodies and anti endothelial cell antibodies were found in 7 out of 30 newly-diagnosed type-1 diabetic patients. This confirms the abnormal activation of the immunological system in the early stage of type-1 diabetes mellitus.
