The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a relevant model for studying human insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The selective destruction of insulin-secreting cells in this model is subsequent to an autoimmune reaction directed towards the beta cells inside the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. Given the key role played by T cells in the development of IDDM, we investigated a model of IDDM prevention in NOD mice by administration of a monoclonal antibody to the alpha/beta dimer of the T cell receptor for antigen. Our data provide evidence that aiming at the T cell receptor protects against both spontaneous and cyclophosphamide-induced diabetes in the NOD mouse. Interestingly, potential clinical application is suggested by the efficient and durable reversal of recent onset diabetes in mice treated with anti-alpha/beta monoclonal antibody within 1 week following the clinical discovery of IDDM.

D011948 Receptors, Antigen, T-Cell Molecules on the surface of T-lymphocytes that recognize and combine with antigens. The receptors are non-covalently associated with a complex of several polypeptides collectively called CD3 antigens (CD3 COMPLEX). Recognition of foreign antigen and the major histocompatibility complex is accomplished by a single heterodimeric antigen-receptor structure, composed of either alpha-beta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, ALPHA-BETA) or gamma-delta (RECEPTORS, ANTIGEN, T-CELL, GAMMA-DELTA) chains.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D013601 T-Lymphocytes Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
