immune system
• at 9 weeks, all islets isolated from male and female homozygous mice showed high infiltration, whereas in wild-type NOD mice, only 10% and 3% of islets obtained from female and male mice displayed severe insulitis; no insulitis is detected at 4 weeks and at 6 weeks most islets aren't infiltrated
|
• there is a profound decrease in numbers of CD4+CD25+ T cells in homozygotes compared to wild-type with levels lower than in CD28-null mice on a NOD background
|
• in T cells and supernatants collected after stimulation with antil-CD3, production of all cytokines is reduced compared to wild-type levels
|
• almost 100% of homozygous mice become diabetic (blood glucose >300 mg/dl on 2 consecutive measurements) by 18 weeks of age, compared to 70% of female and 20% of male wild-type NOD controls or 40% of female and 10% of male wild-type mice

endocrine/exocrine glands
• at 9 weeks, all islets isolated from male and female homozygous mice showed high infiltration, whereas in wild-type NOD mice, only 10% and 3% of islets obtained from female and male mice displayed severe insulitis; no insulitis is detected at 4 weeks and at 6 weeks most islets aren't infiltrated

hematopoietic system
• there is a profound decrease in numbers of CD4+CD25+ T cells in homozygotes compared to wild-type with levels lower than in CD28-null mice on a NOD background
