Detection of Serum Antibodies Cross-Reacting with Mycobacterium avium Subspecies paratuberculosis and Beta-Cell Antigen Zinc Transporter 8 Homologous Peptides in Patients with High-Risk Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

PURPOSE: MAP3865c, a Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) cell membrane protein, has a relevant sequence homology with zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8), a beta-cell membrane protein involved in Zn++ transportation. Recently, antibodies recognizing MAP3865c epitopes have been shown to cross...
