homeostasis/metabolism
• NOD diabetic female mice which receive islet grafts from these classI/II-deficient NOD mice remain euglycemic for up to 147 days, compared to mice receiving islet grafts from NOD or class II-deficient NOD mice which maintain euglycemia for only 6-8 days after transplant; upon removal of the graft-bearing kidney, hyperglycemia returned within 24 hours

hematopoietic system
• a significant reduction of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the periphery is observed in these animals

immune system
• a significant reduction of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the periphery is observed in these animals

• mice monitored to 30 weeks of age do not develop type I diabetes (2 consecutive blood glucose readings >16.5nM) while 70% of wild-type NOD mice develop diabetes
