Abstract excerpt
1. Our previous studies of the murine genetic locus Idd6 revealed the aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like protein 2 (Arntl2) as a candidate gene for type 1 diabetes; and in Idd6 NOD.C3H congenic mice, Arntl2 upregulation is linked to decreased diabetes development. 2. In the present study, shRNA plasmids capable of suppressing Arntl2 expression were developed and given to diabetes resistant...
