Journal ArticleDOI
Post-mortem analysis of islet pathology in type 1 diabetes illuminates the life and death of the β cell
Jo Spencer,Mark Peakman +1 more
TL;DR: The outcome is a definitive study of the lymphocytic infiltrates in the immediate microenvironment of the β cells as they are killed during the evolution of type 1 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ontogenetic aspects of the intestinal immune system in man
TL;DR: The development of the mucosal immune system in the human fetus has been studied in some detail and it is shown that in the absence of lumenal stimulation in the fetus there is no intestinal secretory IgA antibody response.
Journal ArticleDOI
B cell development and proliferation of mature B cells in human fetal intestine.
S J C Golby,Maggie Hackett,Laurent Boursier,Deborah K. Dunn-Walters,Sivashankari Thiagamoorthy,Jo Spencer +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that mature, dividing B cells are present in human fetal intestine, and Ig VHDJH gene sequencing can confirm clonal identity of B cells, and local accumulation of related cells in each case is confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue of primates and rodents.
TL;DR: The events between the antigenic stimulation of Peyer’s patches and the ultimate seeding of the lamina propria with IgA secreting plasma cells may be different in rodents and primates.
