Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is a T-cell mediated autoimmune disease. Several &cell antigens, mostly non-tissue-specific, have been implicated in the disease process. The antigens and the autoimmune T cells exist in healthy individuals, as do many of the genes required for the development of
Mounting evidence shows that CD8 + T cells contribute to the initiation, progression and regulation of several pathogenic autoimmune responses in which these cells were not previously thought to play a major role. CD8 + T cells can kill target cells directly, by recognizing peptide-MHC complexes on
