Essay

Object: insulin binding protein substances in human serum. The aim of work: to separate and characterize insulin binding proteins (IBP) in human blood serum; to investigate the most important IBP – anti-insulin antibodies (AIA) in blood serum of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM); to develop a method of heterogenic enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) for anti-insulin antibodies assay and to create a test system "ИФА-АТ-инс". Methods of research and equipment: affinity chromatography, ELISA, radio-immune assay (RIA), polyacrilamide gel-electrophoresis (PAAGE); ELISA-analyzers “Multiskan EX” и "Stat Fax 3200", liquid chromatograph "Bio Rad". Theoretical and practical results: methodic approaches to separation of insulin-binding protein substances from human blood serum were developed, and efficacy of step-by-step affine chromatography in investigation of IBP in diabetic patients’ blood serum were stated, that would allow to use a differentiated approach to understanding of mechanisms of insulin resistance development in some cases. Novelty: it was shown that step-by-step affine chromatography fractionating of healthy subjects’ and diabetic patients’ blood serum allows to reveal similar fractions of IBP which differ in protein content; insulin-binding serum substances include both AIA and non-immunoglobulin proteins, and equal volumes of patients’ and donors’ serum content different quantities of total IBP so as non-immunoglobulin proteins. Degree of introduction: the results can be used in diagnostics and treatment of DM, and in prediction of DM development. Area of using: endocrinology; clinical and laboratory diagnostics.
