The authors measured IgG, IgM, IgA, and natural sheep hemagglutinin (NSH) before and after fetal pancreatic culture allotransplantation to patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Patients with IDDM were found to have higher NSH levels than healthy donors. Secondary transplantations caused a more pronounced increase of NSH level than the initial ones.
