Three groups of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, ascertained by different procedures, were investigated for HLA-A, B, C and D antigens (n = 164), and a subset (n = 93) for HLA-DR. Both HLA-D/DR3 and D/DR4 were strongly positively associated and D/DR2 was negatively associated with
A diabetogenic strain of coxsackievirus B4 of human origin has been purified to study its biochemistry and diabetogenicity. Tissue culture cells infected with the virus contain two distinct types of particles--virions and membrane-bound virions (MBV). MBVs are lighter (p = 1.29) than virions (p = 1.
## Abstract The E2 strain of coxsackie B4 virus (CB4), which is of human origin, can induce a diabetesβlike syndrome in mice. The cDNA of the genome of the E2 strain was cloned and sequenced. The E2 viral genome was found to comprise 7,396 bases, which appear to encode a polyprotein of 2,183 amino
