Based on the cutoff s-CSF2-Ab and s-CSF2pep-Ab levels, defined as two SDs above the average levels in HDs, the rates of s-CSF2-Ab and s-CSF2pep-Ab positivity were 2.3 and 1.6% in HDs, 10.2 and 11.7% in patients with AMI, and 13.3 and 10.2% in patients with DM, respectively (Table 2). Here, CSF2 is linked to diabetes mellitus.
