Optimal pancreatic antigen concentrations used were 100, 150 and 200 μg/ml. Positive results were considered for each concentration of antigens tested, at stimulation index (SI) > (mean ± 2 SD) SI obtained from normal age-matched controls with the use of the corresponding concentration of antigen. The one who gave positive result with any of these optimal antigen concentrations was considered to be the responder to pancreatic antigens. With this criterion, the responders were found to be 3/7 (42.9%) FCPD, 6/17 (35.3%) IDDM and 6/33 (18.2%) NIDDM patients; while there were 11 of all 102 (10.8%) normal controls.Mahidol UniversityImmunology and MicrobiologyMedicineArticleSCOPUS
