title: Cloning of human and rat p69 cDNA, a candidate autoimmune target in type 1 diabetes.
abstract: Triggering of autoimmunity in insulin-dependent diabetes was linked to dietary bovine serum albumin (BSA). Anti-BSA antibodies from diabetes-prone rats precipitate a protein, p69, from islet cell lysates. We have used these antibodies to identify rat p69 cDNAs. Human p69 cDNA was identified by crosshybridization. The p69 coding regions show 87% nucleotide and 89% amino acid homology. Recombinant p69 is recognized by autoantibody and T cells from diabetic children.
