Abstract excerpt
A number of factors have been demonstrated to influence the induction of pathogenic autoimmune responses, including the loss of regulatory T cells. To assess the contribution of regulatory T cells in CD8(+) T cell-mediated autoimmunity, RIP-gp/P14 double-transgenic mice expressing the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) glycoprotein (gp) on pancreatic beta-islet cells, together with T cells expressing an...
