IgG binding conditions: 500 μg mL–1 serum total protein in 50 μL of PBS containing 0.5% BSA, 0.05% Tween 20 was incubated with the beads containing immobilized GAD65-GST fusion protein for 2 h at RT.
“+” indicates that the MFI was higher than the three-sigma value of 20 000 fluorescence units for either one of two serum samples collected prior to age 8.
