Tyrosine phosphatase
Tyrosine phosphatase(AI-2) from serum.
In general, stepwise diagnosis of autoimmune diabetes is not recommended, but the concurrent determination of diabetes Ab.
Assessment The prevalence of IA-2 antibodies in type I diabetes mellitus is between 60 and 80% when it first occurs. Antibodies can also be detected months to years before the onset of the disease. In general, IA-2 antibodies are less likely to be positive in type 1 diabetes than islet cell Ab or GAD65 Ab. Only the detection of multiple types of diabetes antibodies is an indication of the presence or development of autoimmune diabetes.
