Abstract:Objective Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been associated with alterations of the gut microbiota. Here we investigate the cross-talk between the immune system and the intestinal microbiota in murine T1D.
Design To evaluate the modulation of T1D by gut microbiota, non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice were cohoused with the 116C-NOD B-cell transgenic model. To further explore the influence of the adaptive immune system of NOD and 116C-NOD models on their fecal microbiota, we studied the immunodeficient variants NOD.RAG-2-/- … Show more
