Abstract excerpt
At least 20 insulin-dependent diabetes (Idd) loci modify the progression of autoimmune diabetes in the NOD mouse, an animal model of human type 1 diabetes. The NOD.c3c4 congenic mouse, which has multiple B6- and B10-derived Idd-resistant alleles on chromosomes 3 and 4, respectively, is completely protected from autoimmune diabetes. We demonstrate in this study, however, that NOD.c3c4 mice develop a novel...
