Tóm tắt

AbstractImmunization against insulin, insulin B chain, or B chain peptide B9–23 (preproinsulin peptide II33–47) prevents diabetes in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse. Whether or not peptide II33–47 is the only proinsulin determinant recognized by CD4 T cells remains unclear. Using two peptide libraries spanning the entire sequence of preproinsulin I and preproinsulin II, respectively, we identified T cells specific for four proinsulin epitopes within the islet cell infiltrate of prediabetic female NOD mice. These epitopes were among immunogenic epitopes to which a T cell response was detected after immunization of NOD mice with individual peptides in CFA. Immunogenic epitopes were found on both isoforms of insulin, especially proinsulin II, which is the isoform expressed in the thymus. The autoimmune response to proinsulin represented only part of the immune response to islet cells within the islet cell infiltrate in 15-wk-old NOD mice. This is the first systematic study of preproinsulin T cell epitopes in the NOD mouse model.
