Abstract excerpt
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is mediated by autoreactive T cells targeting pancreatic β-cell antigens, with CD8+ T cells specific for islet autoantigens playing a central role. CD8+ T cell reactivity to glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) in HLA-A*02:01 individuals has been reported to focus on the immunogenic region around residues 114-122 (VMNILLQYV). Here, we design GAD65114-122 mimotopes with enhanced human...
