Study 1: Individual nonobese diabetic mice exhibit unique patterns of CD8+ T cell reactivity to three islet antigens, including the newly identified widely expressed dystrophia myotonica kinase.
"Spontaneous autoimmune diabetes development in NOD mice requires both CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. Three pathogenic CD8+ T cell populations (represented by the G9C8, 8.3, and AI4 clones) have been described. Although the antigens for G9C8 and 8.3 are known to be insulin and islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-related protein, respectively, only mimotope peptides had...
