Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms contributing to the development of autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus have been analyzed in allophenic mouse chimeras of the NOD in equilibrium with C57BL/6 strain combination (where NOD is nonobese diabetic). Occurrence of lymphoid cell infiltration (insulitis) in pancreatic islets was observed in the majority of such chimeras. The development of insulitis was found to correlate with...
