Abstract excerpt
Defects in dendritic cells (DCs) development and function lead to autoimmune disorders. Autoimmune diabetes in humans and NOD mice results from a breakdown of self-tolerance, ending in T cell-mediated β-cell destruction. DCs dysfunction in NOD mice results in part from a defect in the JAK-STAT5 signaling pathway associated with the idd4 susceptibility locus. The involvement of Stat5b in DCs tolerogenic functions...
