Insulin is a key hormone in glucose homeostasis. Its lack causes severe health complications and has to be compensated by regular administration of insulin. Despite intense long-lasting research, a more stable and efficient substitute has yet to be discovered to alleviate patients’ issues. Here we report the development of a new assay for screening potential insulin receptor ligands based on the DNA-linked inhibitor antibody assay (DIANA). Our assay meets the need for a fast, sensitive, non-radioactive method as an alternative to the commonly used radioligand receptor binding assay.
