The immune mechanisms directly responsible for beta-cell destruction in insulin-dependent diabetes are undefined. We studied the role of MHC class I-restricted T lymphocytes in the development of diabetes in cyclophosphamide (CY)-treated male and untreated female NOD mice (H-2Kd,Db). After administration of CY to 10-wk-old male NOD/Shi/Kbe mice, 37 of 64 (58%) phosphate-buffered saline-injected control mice and 13 of 22 (59%) anti-Kb and 12 of 27 (44%) anti-Db monoclonal antibody (MoAb)-injected mice became diabetic by 14 wk of age, whereas only 3 of 38 (8%) anti-Kd and 2 of 13 (15%) anti-Lyt-2 MoAb-injected mice did. In untreated female NOD/Shi/Kbe mice, 30 of 46 (65%) mice developed spontaneous diabetes by 30 wk of age, whereas none of 9 anti-Kd MoAb-injected mice became diabetic. Immunohistochemical studies showed that islet-infiltrating cells in CY-treated control mice were composed mainly of both L3T4+ and Lyt-2+ T lymphocytes, whereas many L3T4+ and very few Lyt-2+ lymphocytes infiltrated within the islets in anti-Kd MoAb-injected mice. Administration of anti-Lyt-2 MoAb induced the absence of Lyt-2+ T lymphocytes in the islet and spleen. However, anti-Kd MoAb did not change the number of spleen cells or the T-lymphocyte subset and response to concanavalin A. These results suggest that MHC class I Kd-restricted Lyt-2+ T lymphocytes play an important role as direct effector cells in destruction of beta-cells in NOD/Shi/Kbe mice.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D003208 Concanavalin A A MANNOSE/GLUCOSE binding lectin isolated from the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis). It is a potent mitogen used to stimulate cell proliferation in lymphocytes, primarily T-lymphocyte, cultures.
D003520 Cyclophosphamide Precursor of an alkylating nitrogen mustard antineoplastic and immunosuppressive agent that must be activated in the LIVER to form the active aldophosphamide. It has been used in the treatment of LYMPHOMA and LEUKEMIA. Its side effect, ALOPECIA, has been used for defleecing sheep. Cyclophosphamide may also cause sterility, birth defects, mutations, and cancer.
