Abstract excerpt
Reduced frequency of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells has been indicated as a contributing factor to type 1 diabetes (T1D) development in NOD mice. To further understand the genetic basis of the defect, we generated (NOD × ICR)F2 mice to map genes that control iNKT-cell development. We determined frequencies of thymic and splenic iNKT cells, as well as the ratio of CD4-positive and -negative subsets in the...
