Abstract
Objective: The Scatchard plot of anti-insulin antibodies is curvilinear, indicating heterogeneity in binding sites. However, the relationship between bound insulin (B) and free insulin (F) in patients with anti-insulin antibodies has not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to determine this relationship.
Methods: We studied two insulin-treated patients with diabetes who had high titers of anti-insulin antibodies. The B and F levels were measured using daily blood samples. Assuming that the law of mass action is applicable to the reactions between insulin and anti-insulin antibody forms, we plotted the bound-to-free ratio (B/F) vs. B using patient data. We also performed an equilibrium binding assay in vitro.
Results: Some of the B/F vs. B plots of the daily variation showed an approximately linear relationship, while the Scatchard plots of in vitro data became curvilinear.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that the one-site (high-affinity site) of anti-insulin antibodies accounts, for the most part, for insulin pharmacokinetics within physiological insulin concentrations.

期刊介绍:
Diabetology International, the official journal of the Japan Diabetes Society, publishes original research articles about experimental research and clinical studies in diabetes and related areas. The journal also presents editorials, reviews, commentaries, reports of expert committees, and case reports on any aspect of diabetes. Diabetology International welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and health professionals throughout the world who are interested in research, treatment, and care of patients with diabetes. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed to assure that high-quality information in the field of diabetes is made available to readers. Manuscripts are reviewed with due respect for the author''s confidentiality. At the same time, reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which are respected by the editors. The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
