Autoimmunity to Both Proinsulin and IGRP Is Required for Diabetes in Nonobese Diabetic 8.3 TCR Transgenic Mice
Bibliographic record
Abstract
T cells specific for proinsulin and islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit related protein (IGRP) induce diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice. TCR transgenic mice with CD8(+) T cells specific for IGRP(206-214) (NOD8.3 mice) develop accelerated diabetes that requires CD4(+) T cell help. We previously showed that immune responses against proinsulin are necessary for IGRP(206-214)-specific CD8(+) T cells to expand. In this study, we show that diabetes development is dramatically reduced in NOD8.3 mice crossed to NOD mice tolerant to proinsulin (NOD-PI mice). This indicates that immunity to proinsulin is even required in the great majority of NOD8.3 mice that have a pre-existing repertoire of IGRP(206-214)-specific cells. However, protection from diabetes could be overcome by inducing islet inflammation either by a single dose of streptozotocin or anti-CD40 agonist Ab treatment. This suggests that islet inflammation can substitute for proinsulin-specific CD4(+) T cell help to activate IGRP(206-214)-specific T cells.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
