説明

<jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p> This report documents that beta cells from islets of Langerhans normally transfer some of their secretory granules to resident phagocytes. The transfer involves a close contact interaction between live beta cells and phagocytes, increases upon glucose stimulation, and requires mobilization of intracellular Ca <jats:sup>++</jats:sup> . In autoimmune diabetes, the CD4 T cells to various peptides of the insulin B chain recognize the transferred antigens in the phagocytes represented in islets by macrophages and a subset of dendritic cells. We have identified a process whereby antigens become available for recognition by autoreactive T cells in type 1 diabetes. </jats:p>
