High density insulin receptor-positive diabetogenic T lymphocytes in nonobese diabetic mice are memory cells.

Abstract excerpt

Our previous work examining the importance of insulin receptor (IR) expression on T cells has demonstrated that when T cells from nonobese diabetic mice were sorted into populations expressing a high (IR(High)) and a low (IR(Low)) density of IR, IR(High) T cells rapidly transferred insulitis and diabetes. We have further characterized IR(High) T cells. Both CD4+ and CD8+ cells were detected in the IR(High) T cell...
