摘要: Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) results from autoimmune, T-lym-phocyte-dependent destruction of pancreatic islet B-cells in the two rodent models human IDDM, non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse and Bio-Breeding (BB) rat.1,2 Similar pathogenic mechanisms are thought to result IDDM.3 In all three species, autoimmune B-cell appears be a highly selective process, with relative sparing other cell types. The primary target antigen and/or presentation antigenic peptide is thus likely either unique B-cell, or at least B-cell-restricted within islets.3
