RIG-I– and MDA5-Initiated Innate Immunity Linked With Adaptive Immunity Accelerates β-Cell Death in Fulminant Type 1 Diabetes
3 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The contribution of innate immunity responsible for aggressive β-cell destruction in human fulminant type 1 diabetes is unclear. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Islet cell expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), cytoplasmic retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I)-like receptors, downstream innate immune markers, adaptive immune mediators, and apoptotic markers was studied in three autopsied pancreata...
