摘要: T cells play a major role in the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. Administration interleukin 12 (IL-12), key cytokine which guides helper type 1 (Th1) CD4+ cells, induces rapid onset IDDM NOD, but not BALB/c Histologically, IL-12 administration massive infiltration lymphoid mostly pancreatic islets NOD pancreas-infiltrating after activation by insolubilized anti cell receptor antibody, secrete high levels interferon gamma and low IL-4. Therefore, accelerates genetically susceptible mice, this correlates with increased Th1 production islet-infiltrating cells. These results hold implications for pathogenesis, possibly therapy other cell-mediated autoimmune diseases.
