The islet autoimmunity of preclinical type 1 diabetes remains poorly characterized in humans. In this paper, the IgG subclass response to the islet autoantigens insulin, glutamic acid decarboxylase, and IA-2 was studied sequentially from birth to diabetes onset or current follow-up in 26 autoantibody positive offspring of parents with diabetes. Islet autoantibody appearance was characterized by an early IgG1 peak response to one or more Ags, most commonly to insulin, at a median age of 2.2 yr (interquartile range, 2-2.9 yr). In five offspring, an acute fulminant beta-cell destruction and diabetes onset occurred during this initial Ab response. In the remainder, early Ab levels declined markedly, and Ab peaks against other beta cell Ags arose sequentially over several years suggesting regulation and spreading of autoimmunity. Second peak Ab responses to the same Ag were observed in only two offspring, both developing diabetes at this time. Two others developed diabetes with declining Ab levels. Abs of IgG1 subclass dominated against each Ag, and other subclasses, were usually only detected during peak IgG1 responses. The IgG4 response to insulin was exceptional, being dominant over IgG1 in four offspring and in five others appeared and/or persisted after IgG1 levels declined. These Th2-associated IgG4 responses were not correlated with protection from diabetes. The presence of IgG1-restricted responses to DA2 were associated with diabetes development. These findings suggest that type 1 diabetes has an early acute destructive phase of beta cell autoimmunity, which may be regulated and which spreads chronically until diabetes onset.
