• transgenic NOD.scid mice receiving splenocytes from 12 week old nondiabetic Il10-nNOD mice develop diabetes (blood glucose level >300 mg/dl) by 4 weeks posttransfer (blood glucose >300 mg/dl), while no nontransgenic NOD.scid mice are affected over the same period;
• adoptive transfer of splenocytes from diabetic NOD mice into transgenic NOD.scid mice induces clinical disease with faster kinetics compared to nontransgenic NOD.scid mice
• transfer of splenocytes from prediabetic 8 week old NOD mice to transgenic NOD.scid mice caused diabetes after 4 weeks, while nontransgenic NOD.scid recipients didn't develop diabetes until 7 weeks posttransfer
