Islet cell replacement and transplantation immunology in a mouse strain with inducible diabetes

Abstract Improved models of experimental diabetes are needed to develop cell therapies for diabetes. Here, we introduce the B6 RIP-DTR mouse, a model of experimental diabetes in fully immunocompetent animals. These inbred mice harbor the H2b major histocompatibility complex (MHC), selectively expres...
