abstract：:The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is an animal model for insulin-dependent diabetes that has many similarities to the human disease. NOD mice transgenic for the Ea gene, allowing expression of the E molecule, are protected from diabetes and rarely develop insulitis. An Ea transgene mutated in the promoter region, (De...
