Increased Levels of Bovine Serum Albumin Antibodies in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease-Related Antibodies

Abstract

These data suggest that bovine serum albumin antibodies appears in patients with a compromised epithelial permeability, and they reflect a general defect in the process of immunologic tolerance associated with a predisposition to autoimmunity, rather than immunity specific to beta cells.
