Tracking islet autoantigen specific CD4+ T Cells

The goal of this research project is to identify self-reactive T cell clones and monitor the frequency and activation state during the progression of autoimmune diabetes.  Identification of T-cell reactivity to beta-cell antigen epitopes is important to study pathogenesis and monitor antigen specific interventions in T1D.  We have successfully generated and validated human tetramer reagents […]
