SINGLE INJECTION OF INSULIN DELAYS THE RECURRENCE OF DIABETES IN SYNGENEIC ISLET-TRANSPLANTED DIABETIC NOD MICE 1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Insulin has been implicated in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes and oral administration of insulin has been shown to delay the onset of diabetes in NOD mice. In this study we determined whether a single footpad injection of insulin will protect syngeneic islet grafts from autoimmune destruction when placed under the kidney capsule of diabetic NOD mice. METHODS: Five hundred islets were transplanted under the kidney capsule of diabetic female NOD mice in conjunction with a single footpad injection of either pork insulin in saline or mixed with incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA). Control groups received either IFA or saline alone. RESULTS: Seven of 11 animals (63.6%) given insulin in IFA exhibit long-term graft survival (>75 days; mean +/- SEM >85.4+/-16.1) whereas only 3 of 12 animals (25.0%) in the IFA group had graft survival longer than 75 days (mean +/- SEM >41.9+/-12.8 days). In contrast, none of the animals that received insulin in saline (17.3+/-2.5 days) and saline only (16.1+2.0 days) exhibit prolonged graft survival. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that a single footpad injection of insulin can protect the islet graft from immune attack in NOD mice.

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.
