TLR9-Signaling Pathways Are Involved in Kilham Rat Virus-Induced Autoimmune Diabetes in the Biobreeding Diabetes-Resistant Rat
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Viral infections are associated epidemiologically with the expression of type 1 diabetes in humans, but the mechanisms underlying this putative association are unknown. To investigate the role of viruses in diabetes, we used a model of viral induction of autoimmune diabetes in genetically susceptible biobreeding diabetes-resistant (BBDR) rats. BBDR rats do not develop diabetes in viral-Ab-free environments, but...
