Abstract excerpt
Recent data have suggested that non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice display a defect in negative thymic selection. Using mixed bone marrow chimeras, we demonstrate that the NOD allele of the diabetes susceptibility region 5 (Idd5) locus on chromosome 1, confers defective negative selection in response to endogenous superantigens (SAg) Mtv8 and Mtv9. We generated mixed bone marrow (BM) chimeras in which the donor cells...
