Nearby Construction Impedes the Progression to Overt Autoimmune Diabetes in NOD Mice

Figure 5

Serum IAA levels as an indication of an ongoing autoimmune response towards pancreatic islets. The serum IAA levels are shown for every mouse group and segregated according to the health status (i.e., diabetic versus nondiabetic). Note that there are no nondiabetic mice from the NOD/LtJ-HMR mice born after construction. Each dot represents one mouse.
