Abstract excerpt
The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse develops diabetes as a result of spontaneous T cell mediated destruction of the insulin-producing beta-cells. Tolerization to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) has been reported to inhibit spontaneous T cell proliferative responses to GAD65 and GAD65 peptides and prevent insulitis and diabetes in NOD mice. To evaluate the role of T cells responsive to GAD65 in induction of...
