Viruses and Autoimmune Diseases 2003-11-03 .txt text/plain 3510 176 42 In the absence of viral infection, IDDM can be induced when such anergic CTL clones (of high or low affinity) in the periphery are activated as they pass into an islet environment where interferon-g or B7.1 are expressed [9, 10] . To examine whether molecular mimicry between a virus and a protein expressed in oligodendrocytes could lead to a central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune disease much like the demyelinating disease, multiple sclerosis, transgenic mice were generated whose oligodendrocytes expressed either the nucleoprotein or glycoprotein of a virus [41] . Virus infection triggers insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in a transgenic model: role of anti-self (virus) immune response Molecular mimicry in T-cell mediated autoimmunity: viral peptides activate human T-cell clones specific for myelin basic protein Oral insulin treatment suppresses virus-induced antigen-specific destruction of b cells and prevents autoimmune diabetes in transgenic mice ./cache/cord-306096-2yl07bdq.txt ./txt/cord-306096-2yl07bdq.txt
