Abstract: Studying the immunogenicity of insulin is crucial for managing and treating diabetes and other medical conditions. Although insulin therapy is proven effective for diabetic patients, the presence of insulin antibodies can diminish its effectiveness and lead to adverse immune reactions. Understanding the processes and factors affecting insulin immunogenicity is important to improve treatment outcomes and minimize complications. Research indicates that insulin's immunogenicity is influenced by various structural characteristics such as size, charge, and hydrophobicity. Additionally, factors like insulin dosage, frequency of administration, patient age, gender, genetic background, and mode of insulin delivery contribute to the likelihood of antibody formation. Therefore, optimizing insulin therapy for diabetic patients requires a comprehensive knowledge of insulin immunogenicity and effective insulin antibody detection assays. The development of advanced point-of-care immunoassays has enabled efficient screening for anti-insulin antibodies and assessment of insulin immunogenicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
