OBJECTIVE: To investigate the cross-reactivity between glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)-I-A(g7) and I-A(d) tetramer in diabetes-prone non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice (I-A(g7)) and diabetes-free Balb/c mice (I-A(d)). ME...OBJECTIVE: To investigate the cross-reactivity between glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD)-I-A(g7) and I-A(d) tetramer in diabetes-prone non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice (I-A(g7)) and diabetes-free Balb/c mice (I-A(d)). METHODS: Two GAD peptide I-A(g7) and I-A(d) tetramers were generated and compared for phenotype and function of sorted GAD peptide I-A(g7) and I-A(d) tetramer-positive (tet+) T cells. RESULTS: The cross-reactivity is shown in either tetramer positive percentage or tetramer staining intensity. The NOD and Balb/c derived-tet+ T cells were able to be cross-stained by GAD peptide I-A(g7) and I-A(d) tetramers, and responded to both irradiated NOD and Balb/c splenotyes under stimulation by synthetic and recombinant GAD peptides. CONCLUSION: Although I-A(g7) and I-A(d) are closely related in biochemical and biological aspects, their most notable difference is the presence or absence of a negatively charged residue at position beta57 that links to insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.展开更多
