Journal ArticleDOI

Survival of mouse pancreatic islet allografts in recipients treated with allogeneic small lymphocytes and antibody to CD40 ligand

TL;DR: This data indicates that small lymphocytes expressing donor antigens in the absence of appropriate costimulatory signals are tolerogenic for alloreactive host cells and anti-CD40L antibody may prevent host T cells from inducing costimulations in donor lymphocytes or islet grafts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies of streptozotocin-induced insulitis and diabetes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that multiple injections of streptozotocin induce, in susceptible hosts, the triad of direct beta cell cytotoxicity, virus induction within beta cells, and cell-mediated autoimmune reaction, which appears to induce a destructive insulitis and severe diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Requirement of the JIP1 scaffold protein for stress-induced JNK activation

TL;DR: Disruption of the Jip1 gene in mice by homologous recombination prevented JNK activation caused by exposure to excitotoxic stress and anoxic stress in vivo and in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous diabetes mellitus: reversal and prevention in the BB/W rat with antiserum to rat lymphocytes.

TL;DR: Injections of rabbit antiserum to rat lymphocytes reversed hyperglycemia in 36 percent of spontaneously diabetic rats and prevented diabetes in susceptible nondiabetic controls, strengthening the hypothesis that cell-mediated autoimmunity plays a role in the pathogenesis of diabetes in this animal model.
