title: [The antigenicity of various new chromatographically purified depot insulin preparations].
abstract: Four groups of adult diabetics who had never received insulin before were treated for 10--12 months with the following insulin preparations: 1. Insulin Lente, purified by conventional methods; 2. Insulin Lente, purified by gel-filtration; 3. Insulin Lente Monocomponent (MC); 4. Insulin Monotard. Insulin antibodies were measured in these four groups at regular intervals and compared. MC Lente is significantly less antigenic than conventional Lente insulin, but Monotard, a pure pork insulin preparation, is even less antigenic than MC Lente (all 3 Lente preparations contain 70% ox insulin). The average insulin requirement in the Monotard group is significantly lower than in the conventional Lente group.
