Phenotype, specificity, diversity and clonal spread of B cells in T1DM

In this preliminary screening of tissues, we propose to characterize B cells in the pancreas of cadavers that are autoantibody positive. Pancreas of non-autoantibody positive cadavers will be studied as controls. We propose to use immunohistochemistry to analyse cell surface marker expression, together with an analysis of the microantomical distribution of B cells and their relationship to other cells. […]
