cardiovascular system
• associated with myocarditis with lymphocytic infiltrates
|
• hearts show extensive mononuclear infiltrates in the atria; ventricles show focal infiltrates
|
myocarditis
(
J:88055
)
• myocarditis development is transgene- and NOD-specific; the transgenics all exhibit myocarditis
|
digestive/alimentary system
• observed in transgenic and non-transgenic littermates with equal frequency
|
endocrine/exocrine glands
• observed in transgenic and non-transgenic littermates with equal frequency
|
• transgenic mice show insulitis, but pancreatic beta cell damage is not sufficient to result in clinical diabetes
|
immune system
• hearts show extensive mononuclear infiltrates in the atria; ventricles show focal infiltrates

myocarditis
(

• myocarditis development is transgene- and NOD-specific; the transgenics all exhibit myocarditis
|
• observed in transgenic and non-transgenic littermates with equal frequency
|
• transgenic mice show insulitis, but pancreatic beta cell damage is not sufficient to result in clinical diabetes
|
• transgenic mice line 73 show the highest prevalence and titers of cardiac tissue autoantibodies (16/18 mice are positive), while only 5/24 line 70 transgenics are positive and have lower antibody titers
