The Idd6 locus on mouse chromosome 6, which controls the development of type 1 diabetes in the NOD mouse, affects proliferation rates of T cells and the activity of regulatory CD4+CD25+ T cells. Using a transcriptional profiling approach, we show that splenocytes and thymocytes from diabetes-resistant Idd6 NOD.C3H-congenic mouse strains exhibit a constitutive and specific down-regulation of Toll-like receptor 1...
