Glutamic acid decarboxylase 67-reactive T cells: a marker of insulin- dependent diabetes
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) has been shown to be a target of autoantibodies in insulin-dependent diabetes (IDD). Two forms of GAD, with molecular weights of 67,000 and 65,000, have been cloned from separate genes. As pancreatic islet beta cell destruction DD is an autoimmune process mediated by T cells, we sought to determine if recombinant GAD67 was recognized by T cells in IDD subjects ...
متن کاملT-cell Tolerance Following Bacterial Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD) Feeding in Streptozotocin-induced Diabetes
Background: Autoimmune type 1 diabetes mellitus is caused by T-cell mediated immune destruction of the insulin-producing β-cell in pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Specificity of the auto-antibodies and of the auto-reactive T-cells has been investigated, in which several auto-antigens were proposed. Objective: To determine whether glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) feeding would induce oral tol...
متن کاملGlutamic acid decarboxylase 67 expression by a distinct population of mouse vestibular supporting cells
The function of the enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) is to convert glutamate in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Glutamate decarboxylase exists as two major isoforms, termed GAD65 and GAD67, that are usually expressed in GABA-containing neurons in the central nervous system. GAD65 has been proposed to be associated with GABA exocytosis whereas GAD67 with GABA metabolism. In the present immunoflu...

متن کاملPresence of diabetes-inhibiting, glutamic acid decarboxylase-specific, IL-10-dependent, regulatory T cells in naive nonobese diabetic mice.
Immunization of NOD mice with autoantigens such as glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) 221-235 peptide (p221) can induce Ag-specific CD4(+) T regulatory (Tr) cells. However, it is unclear whether these Tr cells acquire their regulatory capacity due to immunization or whether they are constitutively harbored in unimmunized naive mice. To address this question, we used an I-Ag7 tetramer to isolate ...
