BB rat thymocytes cultured in the presence of islets lose their ability to transfer autoimmune diabetes.
Thymocytes from adult BB rats can adoptively transfer autoimmune diabetes to athymic recipients. It is also known that the development of BB rat T-cells is recapitulated in adult thymus organ cultures (ATOCs). Based on these observations, we tested the hypothesis that cells capable of the adoptive transfer of diabetes would be present in long-term ATOCs but could be rendered nondiabetogenic by ...
متن کاملthe relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test
the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...

Allogeneic and autoimmune islet destruction limits the success of islet transplantation in autoimmune diabetic patients. This study was designed to investigate whether ex vivo gene transfer of viral interleukin-10 (vIL-10) protects BioBreeding (BB) rat islets from autoimmune destruction after transplantation into diabetic BB recipients. Islets were transduced with adenoviral constructs (Ad) exp...
متن کاملUsing Cultured Rat Islets
Glucose regulates the cellular content of glucokinase in the pancreatic ,B cell by altering the level of the enzyme. We investigated the existence of a second regulatory pathway, an alteration in the catalytic activity, by comparing V.m and protein levels of glucokinase in rat islets cultured under high glucose conditions (16.7 mM) for 6, 14, and 24 h. The V.,., was increased by glucose at all ...
متن کاملAutoimmune destruction of islets transplanted into RT6-depleted diabetes-resistant BB/Wor rats.
We report a novel animal model of islet transplantation that distinguishes recurrence of autoimmunity from allograft rejection. In this study, diabetes-resistant (DR) BB rats, less than 1% of which develop spontaneous diabetes, were made hyperglycemic by either a single injection of streptozocin (STZ) or in vivo immune elimination of a regulatory T-lymphocyte subset that expresses the RT6 alloa...
