Abstract

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus results from T cell-mediated destruction of insulin-producing, pancreatic islet β cells. How this destruction takes place has remained elusive—largely due to the slow kinetics of disease progression. By crossing a transgenic mouse carrying a β cell-specific T cell receptor onto the NOD. scid background, we produced a simplified but robust and accelerated model of diabetes. This mouse produces CD4 + T cells bearing transgenic T cell receptor but is devoid of CD8 + T cells and B cells. More importantly, this mouse develops a rapid diabetes, which has allowed us to record and quantify β cell death. We have determined that β cells within the inflamed islets die by apoptosis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
