Abstract

T cells target peptide combos: One of the enduring mysteries of autoimmunity is the identity of the specific proteins targeted by autoimmune T cells. Delong et al. used mass spectrometry to elucidate the peptide targets of autoimmune T cells isolated from a mouse model of type 1 diabetes. T cells targeted hybrid peptides formed by the covalent linking of a peptide derived from pro-insulin to other peptides derived from proteins found in pancreatic beta cells. T cells isolated from the pancreatic islets of two individuals with type 1 diabetes also recognized such hybrid peptides, suggesting that they may play an important role in driving disease.

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.
