Original Source: Anti-BSA antibodies are a major cause of non-specific binding in insulin autoantibody radiobinding assays.
Insulin autoantibodies (IAA) are usually the first risk-markers detected during the type 1 diabetes prodrome, but precise measurement is difficult as insulin binding is often low. Non-specific binding (NSB) of (125)I-labelled insulin necessitates competitive displacement with unlabelled insulin to demonstrate specificity. NSB varies with different batches of label, suggesting that it is caused by impurities in the label. Addition of bovine serum albumin (BSA) can reduce NSB, so we investigated whether BSA a...
