35 12421990 Nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice spontaneously develop diabetes as a consequence of an autoimmune process that can be inhibited by immunotherapy with the 60-kDa heat shock protein (hsp60), with its mycobacterial counterpart 65-kDa (hsp65), or with other Ags such as insulin and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD).
36 12421990 Vaccination with phsp60 modulated the T cell responses to hsp60 and also to the GAD and insulin autoantigens; T cell proliferative responses were significantly reduced, and the pattern of cytokine secretion to hsp60, GAD, and insulin showed an increase in IL-10 and IL-5 secretion and a decrease in IFN-gamma secretion, compatible with a shift from a Th1-like toward a Th2-like autoimmune response.
37 12421990 Our results extend the role of specific hsp60 immunomodulation in the control of beta cell autoimmunity and demonstrate that immunoregulatory networks activated by specific phsp60 vaccination can spread to other Ags targeted during the progression of diabetes, like insulin and GAD.

57 15068859 Here, we investigated the effects of intramuscular delivery of DNA coding for the pro-apoptotic protein BAX together with an intracellular or a secreted form of the beta cell antigen glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) on diabetes onset and immune responses in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice.
58 15068859 Remarkably, monitoring of spontaneous diabetes onset indicated that only delivery of DNA coding for secreted GAD and BAX resulted in significant prevention of the disease.
59 15068859 Furthermore, data indicated that subcellular localization of GAD had an effect on both the number and function of antigen presenting cells (APCs) recruited by BAX as well as on IFN-gamma secretion, and that diabetes suppression was unlikely to be caused by increased T helper 2 (Th2)-like activity.

66 15270841 However, DNA vaccination encoding microbial or reporter antigens is known to induce specific long-lasting CD4 Th1 and strong cytolytic CD8 T cell responses.
67 15270841 Simultaneously, DNA immunization induced GAD-specific CD4 T cells secreting interleukin (IL)-4 (P < 0.05) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta (P = 0.03).

78 15699488 CD4+ T cell proliferation in response to GAD and proinsulin in healthy, pre-diabetic, and diabetic donors.
79 15699488 However, peripheral blood cells from healthy, pre-diabetic and diabetic donors exhibited overlap in responses to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) and proinsulin (PI).
80 16621191 We have shown previously that incorporation of a cDNA coding for the pro-apoptotic protein BAX into plasmid DNA coding for a secreted form of the pancreatic beta-cell antigen glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) promotes prevention of type 1 diabetes in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice.
81 16621191 In addition, immunological analysis revealed that the DNA vaccine induced CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells cultured from draining lymph nodes that had immunosuppressive function in vitro.
82 16621191 Data also revealed that CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells from mice immunized with the DNA vaccine yielded a cell population that was foxp3(+), showed increased expression of CD25 compared to control, and had immunosuppressive function in vitro, indicating that Tregs could have developed from antigen-induced, peripheral T lymphocytes.
83 17130554 In the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model, CD8+ T cells play an essential role in both the initial triggering of insulitis and its destructive phase, and proinsulin (PI) is one of the dominant target antigens (Ags).
84 17130554 However, little is known about the beta cell epitopes presented by HLA class I molecules and recognized by human CD8+ T cells.
85 17130554 We validated immunogenicity and natural processing of the identified PI epitopes in HLA-A2.1-transgenic mice, while others demonstrated recognition of multiple PI epitopes by CD8+ T cells from T1DM and healthy subjects in the context of different HLA class I molecules.
86 17130554 DNA vaccination of HLA-transgenic mice may be another rapid and efficient reverse immunology approach to map additional epitopes derived from other T1DM Ags, such as IA-2 and glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GAD 65).
87 17130554 Transfer of this information to Elispot- and MHC tetramer-based assay formats should allow to reliably detect and characterize autoreactive CD8+ T cell responses in T1DM, and may open new avenues for early T1DM diagnosis and immune intervention.
88 17513797 Human histocompatibility leukocyte Ags-A*0201 (HLA-A*0201) transgenic mice were immunized with plasmids encoding the T1D-associated autoantigens: 65 kDa glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) or insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2).
89 17513797 All of the nine-candidate epitopes (five for GAD and four for IA-2) identified by our experimental approach were specifically recognized by CD8(+) T cells from newly diagnosed T1D patients (n = 19) but not from CD8(+) T cells of healthy controls (n = 20).
90 17513797 Among these, GAD(114-123), GAD(536-545) and IA-2(805-813) were recognized by 53%, 25%, and 42% of T1D patients, respectively.
91 17513797 Human histocompatibility leukocyte Ags-A*0201 (HLA-A*0201) transgenic mice were immunized with plasmids encoding the T1D-associated autoantigens: 65 kDa glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) or insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2).

96 17513797 Among these, GAD(114-123), GAD(536-545) and IA-2(805-813) were recognized by 53%, 25%, and 42% of T1D patients, respectively.
97 19267332 Administration of the isoform GAD65 can prevent autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice and the subsequent need for exogenous insulin replacement.
98 19267332 A double-blind randomized Phase II trial in 70 patients (10-18 years old) with recent-onset type 1 diabetes showed significant preservation of residual insulin secretion and a GAD-specific immune response, both humoral and cell-mediated, but no treatment-related adverse events.
99 20166000 This article reviews four recent immunointervention trials in patients with T1DM. (1) The Pre-POINT study is a primary prevention trial that will test whether vaccination with oral or nasal insulin can prevent the progression of islet autoimmunity and of T1DM in autoantibody-negative children who are genetically at high diabetes risk. (2) The Cord Blood study is a tertiary immunointervention trial that will test whether administration of autologous umbilical cord blood to children with T1DM can lead to regeneration of pancreatic islet insulin-producing beta-cells and improved blood glucose control. (3) The GAD Vaccination study will test whether vaccination with alum-formulated rhGAD65 (recombinant human glutamic acid decarboxylate) can preserve beta-cell function in 320 children with newly diagnosed T1DM, as has been suggested in a recent phase II study. (4) The AIDA study will test the beta-cell protective effect of interleukin-1-receptor antagonist Anakinra in 80 patients with T1DM, which has recently been shown to improve beta-cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes.
100 20580618 Here we investigated if boosted GADA induced changes in IgG1, 2, 3 and 4 subclass distributions or affected GAD(65) enzyme activity.
101 23925934 Here, using tetramer analysis, we investigated how oral delivery of CTB fused to two CD4(+) T-cell epitopes, the BDC-2.5 T-cell 2.5 mi mimotope and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) 286-300, affected diabetogenic CD4(+) T cells in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice.
102 24313339 Antibodies to (35) S-methionine-labelled A/H1N1 hemagglutinin were determined in a radiobinding assay in patients diagnosed before (n = 325), during (n = 355) and after (n = 461) the October 2009-March 2010 Swedish A(H1N1)pdm09 vaccination campaign, along with HLA-DQ genotypes and autoantibodies against GAD, insulin, IA-2 and ZnT8 transporter.
103 24520125 As a proinflammatory cytokine produced by β-cells or macrophages, interleukin-1β (IL-1β) represents a potential therapeutic target in diabetes.
104 24520125 We reasoned IL-1β blockade could be combined with islet antigen-specific approaches involving GAD of 65 kDa (GAD65)-expressing plasmids, as previously shown in combination therapies (CTs) with anti-CD3.
