Regulation of Diabetes Development by Regulatory T Cells in Pancreatic Islet Antigen-Specific TCR Transgenic Nonobese Diabetic Mice
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
Nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice carrying a transgenic TCR from an islet Ag-specific CD4 T cell clone, BDC2.5, do not develop diabetes. In contrast, the same transgenic NOD mice on the SCID background develop diabetes within 4 wk after birth. Using a newly developed mAb specific for the BDC2.5 TCR, we examined the interaction between diabetogenic T cells and regulatory T cells in NOD.BDC transgenic mice. CD4 T cells...
