IA-2 Antibody Test

The IA-2 Antibody Test measures autoantibodies against the islet antigen-2 protein, associated with pancreatic beta cell destruction in type 1 diabetes. Positive IA-2 antibodies can help identify autoimmune activity before clinical onset, supporting risk assessment, early diagnosis, and monitoring of disease progression in individuals with suspected or confirmed autoimmune diabetes.
