Abstract
To enhance efficacy of forthcoming type 1 diabetes (T1D) clinical trials, combination therapies (CTs) are envisaged. In this study, we showed that efficacy of a CT, using anti-CD3 antibody and glutamic acid decarboxylase of 65 kd (GAD65)-expressing plasmid, to reverse new-onset T1D was dependent upon the genetic background. Synergism between both treatments was only observed in the RIP-LCMV-GP but not in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) or RIP-LCMV-NOD models. Efficacy was associated with an expansion of bystander suppressor regulatory T cells (Tregs) recognizing the C-terminal region of GAD65 and secreting interleukin-10 (IL-10), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). In addition, we found that frequency and epitope specificity of GAD65-reactive CD4(+) T cells during antigen priming at diabetes onset and Tregs detected after CT correlated. Consequently, NOD mice harbored significantly lower levels of GAD65-reactive CD4(+) T cells than RIP-LCMV-GP before and after treatment. Our results demonstrate that antigen-specific T cells available at treatment may differ between various major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and genetic backgrounds. These cells play a major role in shaping T-cell responses following antigen-specific immune intervention and determine whether a beneficial Tregs response is generated. Our findings hold important implications to understand and predict the success of antigen-based clinical trials, where responsiveness to immunotherapy might vary from patient to patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Islet transplantation can restore insulin production in type 1 diabetes patients. However, survival of the islet allografts will face rejection or recurrence of autoimmunity or a combination of both. In a study on islet-after-kidney transplants, we previously reported that islet cell recipients presented low T-cell alloresponses for HLA mismatches that were shared by the islet cell graft and the prior kidney graft, that is, repeated mismatch, while vigorous responses were measured against novel HLA mismatches. METHODS We now investigated T-cell alloreactivity to repeated HLA-mismatches in three non-uremic type 1 diabetic patients each receiving three sequential islet cell implants. RESULTS These islet-after-islet recipients patients exhibited low or absent responses to repeated mismatches to the first graft which was accompanied by sustained graft function, and reduced responsiveness towards subsequent grafts. In one patient, T-cell responses towards these mismatches were noticed following new mismatches in subsequent grafts, with loss of graft function. CONCLUSION These case reports further support the view that subsequent islet implantations can reduce alloreactivity for repeated HLA mismatches. They demonstrate the usefulness of monitoring T-cell reactivity against islet allografts to correlate immune function with graft survival and to identify conditions for preservation of beta-cell function.

Abstract
HLA-DQ is strongly associated with genetic predisposition to type 1 diabetes. It is assumed that HLA-DQ molecules exert their effects on the disease via the presentation of peptides from islet autoantigens to CD4(+) T-cells, but little information regarding HLA-DQ-restricted, islet antigen-specific, autoreactive T-cells is available. To investigate the role of HLA-DQ in the immune response to islet autoantigens, we measured T-cell proliferation to insulin and GAD65 in the presence and absence of monoclonal antibodies that block HLA-DQ-mediated antigen presentation in recent-onset type 1 diabetic patients and their siblings. Positive proliferative T-cell responses to GAD65 were observed in 60% of type 1 diabetic patients and 52% of siblings. This proliferation was significantly reduced in the presence of anti-DQ antibody, demonstrating the presence of primed, effector HLA-DQ-restricted T-cell responses to GAD65. Positive proliferative responses to insulin were observed in 25% of type 1 diabetic patients and 10% of siblings. However, blocking HLA-DQ-restricted T-cell responses led to a significant increase in proliferation to insulin, implying the presence of primed suppressive HLA-DQ-restricted T-cell responses to insulin. These results indicate that HLA-DQ acts as a restriction element for both proliferative and suppressor cells, with the relative balance of these cells dependent on the nature of the autoantigen.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus results from a T-cell mediated autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic beta cells in genetically predisposed individuals. The knowledge of the immunopathogenesis has increased enormously in the last two decades. The contribution of T-cells in the pathogenesis is beyond doubt. Therapies directed against T-cells have been shown to halt the disease process and prevent recurrent beta-cell destruction after islet transplantation. Less is known about the nature and function of these T-cells, the cause of the loss of tolerance to islet autoantigens, why the immune system apparently fails to suppress autoreactivity, and whether (or which) autoantigen(s) are critically involved in the initiation or progression of the disease. The contribution of dendritic cells in directing the immune response is clear, while the contribution of B-cells and autoantibodies is subject to reconsideration. Autoreactive T-cells have proven to be valuable tools to study pathogenic or diabetes-related processes. Measuring T-cell autoreactivity has also provided critical information to determine the fate of islet allografts transplanted to Type 1 diabetic patients. Cellular autoimmunity is a difficult study subject, but it has been a worthwhile quest to unravel the role of T-cells in the pathogenesis of Type 1 diabetes. The challenge for the future is to determine which factors contribute to the loss of tolerance to beta-cell antigens, and to define what measures T-cells can provide to suppress autoreactivity, since it is becoming increasingly evident that T-cells provide a two-edged sword: some T-cells could be pathogenic, but others can regulate the disease process and thus form new targets for immunointervention.

Abstract
Complex protein antigens contain multiple potential T cell recognition epitopes, which are generated through a processing pathway involving partial antigen degradation via proteases, binding to MHC molecules, and display on the APC surface, followed by recognition via the T cell receptor. We have investigated recognition of the GAD65 protein, one of the well-characterized autoantigens in type I diabetes, among individuals carrying the HLA-DR4 haplotypes characteristic of susceptibility to IDDM. Using sets of 20-mer peptides spanning the GAD65 molecule, multiple immunostimulatory epitopes were identified, with diverse class II DR molecules functioning as the restriction element. The majority of T cell responses were restricted by DRB1 molecules; however, DRB4 restricted responses were also observed. Antigen-specific T cell clones and lines were derived from peripheral blood samples of pre-diabetic and IDDM patients and T cell recognition and response were measured. Highly variable proliferative and cytokine release profiles were observed, even among T cells specific for a single GAD65 epitope.

Abstract
In type 1 diabetes, a number of specific and non-specific antigens have been identified. The major autoantigens involved in the destructive process of beta-cells leading to the development of type 1 diabetes are proinsulin/insulin, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and the transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase (IA-2). These are the only autoantigens that partially satisfy the criteria by which an autoantigen or cross-reactive nonself antigen could be evaluated for a pathogenic role in autoimmune diseases. Antigens by definition induce antibody production and in type 1 diabetes, such (auto) antibodies are accepted as biochemical markers for the disease. Here we describe the main features and usefulness of these markers for disease prediction.

Abstract
T cell recognition of autoantigens is critical to progressive immune-mediated destruction of islet cells, which leads to autoimmune diabetes. We identified a naturally presented autoantigen from the human islet antigen glutamic acid decarboxylase, 65-kDa isoform (GAD65), by using a combination of chromatography and mass spectrometry of peptides bound by the type I diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM)-associated HLA-DR4 molecule. Peptides encompassing this epitope-stimulated GAD65-specific T cells from diabetic patients and a DR4-positive individual at high risk for developing IDDM. T cell responses were antagonized by altered peptide ligands containing single amino acid modifications. This direct identification and manipulation of GAD65 epitope recognition provides an approach toward dissection of the complex CD4(+) T cell response in IDDM.

Abstract
Antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) occur frequently in patients with APECED, although clinical insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is seen only in a subgroup of the patients. We studied the cellular immunity to GAD, antibodies to GAD and their association with the HLA DQB1 risk alleles for IDDM in patients with APECED. Proliferation responses to GAD were enhanced in the patients with APECED when compared with the control subjects (P = 0.004), but autoimmunity to GAD was not associated with IDDM in APECED. The levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secreted by GAD-stimulated T cells were higher in the patients than in control subjects (P = 0. 001). A negative correlation (r = - 0.436, P = 0.03) existed between the antibody levels and the stimulation indices (SIs) to GAD. In 14 non-diabetic patients no difference in insulin secretion was observed in intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) between the patients with and without T cell reactivity to GAD. We conclude that cellular immunity to GAD detected as T cell proliferation response to GAD or IFN-gamma secretion by GAD-stimulated T cells was frequent in patients with APECED (69%) and was not restricted to the patients with clinically detectable beta-cell damage.

Abstract
The ABBOS-peptide from bovine serum albumin (BSA) in cow's milk has been suggested to initiate the autoimmune process against the beta-cells leading to type 1 diabetes. The aim of this study was to elucidate if the ABBOS-peptide is a possible trigger of type I diabetes. The cytokines IL-4 and IFN-gamma were determined at the level of transcription as mRNA in lymphocytes, stimulated with the ABBOS-peptide. Sixteen children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes were compared with 10 healthy controls matched for the diabetes associated HLA-type DR3/4. Antibodies to bovine serum albumin (BSA), insulin antibodies (IA), and antibodies against islet cells (ICA) were determined, as well as serum C-peptide. Increased mRNA expression for IFN-gamma and/or IL-4 could be observed in lymphocytes from 13/16 children with recent onset of diabetes after in vitro stimulation with the ABBOS-peptide. Low expression of IFN-gamma mRNA was associated with high secretion of C-peptide, whereas a positive relationship could be observed between expression of IL-4 mRNA and insulin antibodies. Expression of IFN-gamma and/or IL-4 mRNA was also detected in lymphocytes from 6/10 healthy controls. ABBOS may have a role as a reactive epitope in the upregulation of the autoimmune process against the beta-cells but ABBOS does not seem to cause any specific Th1 response. An increased mRNA expression could also be seen in lymphocytes from healthy controls. Thus, the ABBOS-peptide might just cause or reflect an unspecific immune activity.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is thought to result from a T cell-mediated destruction of the pancreatic beta-cells. Multiple and sometimes conflicting studies have identified a variety of aberrations in the cellular immune response to autoantigens in persons with the disease. Potential explanations for these discrepancies include incomparable techniques or culture conditions, diversity in the populations of patients or controls tested, and differences in autoantigen preparations. A T cell workshop was organized by the Immunology of Diabetes Society with the aim of appreciating and identifying problems associated with autoreactive T cell assays in type 1 diabetes. As a first phase, a series of candidate autoantigens were analysed by reference laboratories for quality. Subsequently, these preparations, as well as control stimuli, were distributed in a blind fashion to 26 laboratories worldwide, including all experienced centres, for analysis of T cell proliferation assays in 10 recent onset type 1 diabetes and 10 non-diabetic controls. For this analysis, participants used their own assays and references. The islet autoantigen quality control analyses performed prior to the distribution indicate that the quality of recombinant autoantigen preparations requires improvement. For example, several T cell clones specific for glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) were unable to cross-react with GAD65 expressed in baculovirus, yeast or bacteria. Moreover, autoantigens expressed in E. coli interfered with autoantigen-specific proliferation of both T cell clones and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Nonetheless, responses could be measured to all autoantigen preparations evaluated in the workshop. During the blind phase of the study, all centres were able to reproducibly measure T cell responses to two identical samples of tetanus toxoid, but there was significant interlaboratory variation in sensitivity and extent of the proliferative response measured. Third, the results using candidate autoantigens indicated that although a few laboratories could distinguish type 1 diabetes patients from non-diabetic controls in proliferative responses to individual islet autoantigens, in general, no differences in T cell proliferation between the two groups could be identified. This first T cell workshop on T cell autoreactivity in type 1 diabetes confirms that this was a difficult area for interlaboratory investigations, but provided insight towards future efforts focused on standardizing autoreactive T cell measurements. Some previously reported conflicting results can in part be explained by the observed interlaboratory variability. The inability to discriminate normal controls from new onset type 1 diabetes patients suggests that measuring proliferative responses in PBMC represents an incomplete picture of the immune response, perhaps complicated by difficulties in identifying suitable antigens and assays for standardized use.

Abstract
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is characterized by infiltration of T-lymphocytes in the islets of Langerhans. Antigens are presented to Th-lymphocytes which can be divided into Th1- and Th2-lymphocytes, producing interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) respectively. The aim of our study was to determine the messenger-RNA (mRNA) for these cytokines by RT-PCR in antigen-stimulated lymphocytes from children with newly diagnosed IDDM. The expression of mRNA for IL-4, and to a lesser degree IFN-gamma, is increased in lymphocytes stimulated with tetanus toxoid (TT). Loss of activity after freezing and thawing could be compensated for, by increased amplification, while the use of EDTA or sodium heparin in the blood samples did not influence the results. In a pilot application, the lymphocytes from children with newly diagnosed IDDM were stimulated with a peptide of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) (a.a. 247-279) known to have a similar aminoacid sequence as the Coxsackie B virus (a.a. 32-47). Increased IFN-gamma mRNA could be seen in two out of four children, whereas IL-4 showed a less pronounced mRNA expression. No increased mRNA expression for IFN-gamma and IL-4 could be seen in healthy HLA-matched controls. Further studies are needed to confirm whether increased IFN-gamma mRNA in Th1-like lymphocytes stimulated with this specific GAD-peptide play a role in the cell-mediated immune response seen in children early after the onset of IDDM.

Abstract
Polymorphism of the genes coding for the human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen class II DR and DQ molecules makes the single largest genetic contribution to the risk of developing insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and can be associated with highly elevated as well as decreased disease frequency. The mechanism of IDDM risk modification by HLA polymorphism is likely to involve differential presentation of autoantigenic peptides by HLA class II proteins. We have generated T cell lines (TCL) with specificity for the IDDM autoantigen 65 kDa glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) from lymphocytes of two patients carrying HLA class II alleles associated with distinct risk of IDDM (DRB1*0101/0401 and 1302/1501). For both patients, TCL generated at various time points all recognized single epitopes mapped as GAD 88-99 and 248-257, respectively. These epitopes are presented by the DRB1*0101 and DRB5*0101, HLA class II molecules associated with a moderately elevated risk of IDDM, or carried in a strongly protective haplotype, respectively. In an HLA/peptide binding assay, epitope GAD 248-257 was shown to possess high affinity for DRB5*0101. This epitope overlaps with a central GAD peptide binding to the high risk allele DQB1*0302 and containing a Coxsackie P2C-identical mimicry sequence, raising the possibility of competition of DRB5*0101 and DQB1*0302 for binding of a central GAD65 fragment.
