• ongoing insulitis is seen at 10 weeks of age, with a diminished, but still present, mass of beta cells
• 4 week old mice show a mixture of a few cD8+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes and an increase in the number of macrophages surrounding pancreatic islets, while 9 week old mice show severe insulitis and periinsulitis with CD8+ and CD4+ T lymphocytes, macrophages and B lymphocytes infiltrating the islets
