Endothelial cell-binding properties of lymphocytes infiltrated into human diabetic pancreas. Implications for pathogenesis of IDDM.

Abstract excerpt

In IDDM, mononuclear cells accumulate in the islets of Langerhans and destroy insulin-producing beta-cells. To study the mechanisms that control extravasation of circulating mononuclear cells into the pancreas, we examined the phenotype of vascular endothelium of the pancreas, propagated a T-cell line from pancreatic islets at the onset of the disease and compared endothelial binding of this cell line in vitro to...
