Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from progressive loss of pancreatic islet mass through autoimmunity targeted at a diverse, yet limited, series of molecules that are expressed in the pancreatic 13 cell. Identification of these molecular targets provides insight into the pathogenic process, diagnostic assays, and potential therapeutic agents. Autoantigen candidates were identified from microarray expression profiling of human and rodent pancreas and islet cells and screened with radioimmunoprecipitation assays using newonset T1D and prediabetic sera. A high-ranking candidate, the zinc transporter ZnT8 (SIc30A8), was targeted by autoantibodies in 60-80% of new-onset T1D compared with
