1 11160264 This protection was GAD65-specific since NOD mice immunized with pDNA encoding hen egg lysozyme-IgGFc and IL-4 continued to develop diabetes.
2 11418698 We previously demonstrated that administration of plasmid DNAs (pDNAs) encoding IL-4 and a fragment of glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD65) fused to IgGFc induces GAD65-specific Th2 cells and prevents insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice.
3 11418698 These results demonstrate that insulin- and GAD65-specific T cell reactivity induced by pDNA vaccination has distinct effects on the progression of IDDM.
4 19752238 Furthermore, suppression of T1D was dependent on beta cell-specific IL-10-secreting CD4+ T cells, although the frequency of GAD65-specific FoxP3-expressing CD4+ T cells was also increased in sIA(g7)-pGAD65 dimer vaccinated NOD mice.
5 20406664 Increased anti-GAD65 IgG1, serum IgA and unchanged IgG2a antibodies titers; together with an increase of IL-4, IL-10 production and a decrease of IFN-gamma production suggested possible activation of GAD65-specific Th2 immune responses.
