title: Characteristics of blood cells responding to insulin in children with insulin-dependent diabetes.
abstract: Cells responding to insulin in peripheral blood of children with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were characterized using monoclonal antibodies and autoradiography. The results indicate that the cells responding to insulin were T cells mainly of the helper (CD4+) phenotype and that they required adherent cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage for proliferation to occur.
