Association of Human Endogenous Retrovirus K-18 Polymorphisms With Type 1 Diabetes

1 Mar 2004

Abstract excerpt

Several lines of evidence suggest the involvement of the human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-K18 in the etiology of type 1 diabetes. HERV-K18 encodes for a T-cell superantigen (SAg). T-cells with T-cell receptor Vbeta7 chains reactive to the SAg and HERV-K18 mRNA were enriched in the tissues at the onset of the disease. HERV-K18 transcription and SAg function in cells capable of efficient presentation are induced...
