Several auto-Ags are fundamental to disease development, suggesting T1D etiology is heterogeneous and may limit the effectiveness of Ag-specific therapies to distinct disease endotypes. Colonization factor antigen I (CFA/I) fimbriae from Escherichia coli can inhibit autoimmune diseases in murine models by inducing bystander tolerance. To test if Ag-independent s ...[more]
