Abstract
cDNA molecules coding for GAD polypeptide are disclosed. The invention provides cDNA molecules comprising a part of the cDNA sequence of GAD which encode at least one epitope for autoantibodies to GAD . The invention also provides cloning vehicles capable of replication and expression comprising cDNA molecules coding for GAD . The invention further provides for hosts transformed with a vehicle having a cDNA molecule coding for GAD . In another embodiment, the invention provides for the detection of autoantibodies to GAD using the GAD polypeptides coded for by the cDNA molecules of the invention.
