Abstract excerpt
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT)-cell development is controlled by many polymorphic genes present in commonly used mouse inbred strains. Development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in NOD mice partly results from their production of fewer iNKT-cells compared with non-autoimmune-prone control strains, including ICR. We previously identified several iNKT-cell quantitative trait genetic loci co-localized with known mouse...
