Abstract excerpt
Multiple injections of low-dose streptozotocin (LDSZ) induce immune-mediated insulitis and diabetes in C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice. To evaluate the role of the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) for LDSZ induced immune-mediated diabetes, we have investigated mice genetically deficient in the ICAM-1 gene (ICAM-1-/-) in comparison to wild-type (ICAM-1+/+) mice. ICAM-1-/- mice, which had a mixed genetic background...
