♀ phenotype observed in females
♂ phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
homeostasis/metabolism
increased circulating glucose level ( J:93555 )
• ~80% of animals show elevated blood glucose levels by 6 weeks of age

immune system
abnormal cytokine secretion ( J:93555 )
• frequency of Il4-positive cells in infiltrated islets increases as double transgenic mice become diabetic;frequency of Ifng-positive cells is higher than in double mutants expressing CD80 and Tnf
• frequency of Il4+, Th2 cells is dramatically reduced compared to single CD86 transgenic littermates
increased susceptibility to autoimmune diabetes ( J:93555 )
• all double mutants become diabetic, compared to single transgenic Tnf animals

immune system phenotype ( J:91820 )
N
• no evidence of diabetes is detected in F1 progeny of founders and NOD mice up 1 year of age
insulitis ( J:91820 )
• F1 offspring from crosses to NOD mice display pattern of insulitis consistent with migration from the vasculature outside islet capsule as well as capillary network within capsule

endocrine/exocrine glands
abnormal pancreatic islet morphology ( J:91820 )
• islets display infiltrating mononuclear cells; in prediabetic mice, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells represent 50% of infiltrating cells in islets; the other 50% are CD4/CD8 double negative cells
• numbers of infiltrating cells recovered from islets is ~100-fold greater than recovered from Lta-transgenic mice
insulitis ( J:91820 )
• F1 offspring from crosses to NOD mice display pattern of insulitis consistent with migration from the vasculature outside islet capsule as well as capillary network within capsule

homeostasis/metabolism
homeostasis/metabolism phenotype ( J:91820 )
N
• production of insulin after 8 months-1 year is similar to controls, with no evidence of autoimmune destruction
