BB rat <i>lyp</i> mutation and Type 1 diabetes
1 Dec 2001

One of the diabetes susceptibility loci maps to the lyp locus on chromosome 4. In this article we describe the consequences of the BB rat lyp mutation on T-cell homeostasis, repertoire and function, as well as its role in the pathogenesis of type I diabetes.
