Abstract excerpt
NOD mice develop type 1 autoimmune diabetes and exhibit genetically dominant resistance to transplantation tolerance induction. These two phenotypes are genetically separable. Costimulation blockade fails to prolong skin allograft survival in (NOD x C57BL/6)F1 mice and in NOD-related strains made diabetes-resistant by congenic introduction of protective major histocompatibility complex (MHC) or non-MHC Idd region...
