abstract：:The question is still unresolved whether in insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes T-lymphocytes mediate an autoimmune response towards pancreatic islets. We now present direct evidence in an animal model for autoimmune T-lymphocytes with specificity for islet antigens. Mice of strain C57BL/6 were immunized repeatedly wi...
