J:93555
)
• mice do not display any autoimmune pathology until 7 months of age; at ~7-8 months, mice develop a perivascular/periductal (peri-islet) infiltration; by 14 months of age, infiltrate has not progressed to insulitis or diabetes
|
• there are 3-10 times more Il4-positive cells than Ifng-positive cells in islet infiltrates; an increased accumulation of Il4-positive cells in pancreatic infiltrates is observed as mice age
|
• transgenic mice do not develop autoimmune diabetes
