    Abstract

    Methods for detecting insulin binding or transporting antibodies are described, involving the use of radioactively labelled insulin (insulin 131I). These antibodies are detected in a high proportion of patients receiving insulin, particularly those requiring large doses. The protein fractions concerned appear to be the beta and gamma globulins. The significance of the phenomenon is discussed.
