TCR sequencing analysis of islets from NOD mice on hydrolyzed casein and hydrolyzed casein + 4% gluten diets
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Protein source in diet greatly influences the incidence of type-1 diabetes (T1D) in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse colonies. NOD mice fed a diet containing hydrolyzed casein (HC) as the sole protein source are protected from T1D. Replacing 1/5th of the HC with gluten restores high T1D to NOD mice. We hypothesized that gluten might promote inflammation in the islets. We used TCR sequencing to characterize the clonal frequency of infiltrating T cells from the pancreatic islets of Langerhans of NOD mice fed a 20% HC diet or a 16% HC + 4% gluten diet.
