Figure 4.

Anti-Id levels do not correlate with beta-cell function. The plots display the relationship of anti-Id specific for b96.11 and DPD with 2 measurements of beta-cell function calculated from OGTT data (iAUC-CG: upper panels, and C-peptide index: lower panels). There is no correlation between anti-Id levels and beta-cell function. (Note: The analyses were repeated after removing the lowest 3 values for the anti-Id index from each of the plots, and all correlations remained nonsignificant; see Supplementary Fig. S1 [26].) There is no correlation between anti-Id levels and beta-cell function.
