Abstract excerpt

IDDM (type I diabetes) is generally believed to result from T-cell-mediated autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. In the last few years, considerable progress has been made with regard to the identification and characterization of candidate autoantigens recognized by autoantibodies; several of these candidate autoantigens are recognized by T-cells,...
