Abstract excerpt
The spontaneous development of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice suggests that they are unable to establish and maintain immunologic self-tolerance. Congenic NOD mice expressing B10-derived alleles are protected from pancreatic beta cell destruction and autoimmune diabetes. To determine if the B10 alleles in loci Idd5 and Idd9 could influence susceptibility to autoimmunity in other organs, we compared...
