Abstract excerpt
Polymorphism of MHC and MHC-linked genes is tightly associated with susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (T1D) in human and animal models. Despite the extensive studies, however, the role of MHC and MHC-linked genes expressed by T cells on T1D susceptibility remains unclear. Because T cells develop from TCR(-) thymic precursor (pre-T) cells that undergo MHC restriction mediated by thymic stroma cells, we...
