Abstract excerpt
The T-box expressed in T cells gene (T-bet) is a member of the T-box family of transcription factors. T-bet-deficient mice show normal lymphoid development, but exhibit profound defects in their Th1-mediated immune responses. As the balance between Th1- and Th2-mediated immune responses plays a role in autoimmune-prone diseases, we have investigated the diabetes-related insulin autoantibody (IAA) and cellular...
