Nonobese diabetic mice spontaneously develop diabetes that is caused by autoimmune cell-mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells. Here we report that surgical removal of 90% of pancreatic tissue before onset of insulitis induced a long-term diabetes-free condition in nonobese diabetic mice. Pancreatectomy after development of moderate insulitis had no effect on the course of diabetes. The effect of pancreatectomy was abrogated with subsequent development of diabetes by infusion of islet-cell-specific T lymphocytes and by transplantation of pancreatic islets. Lymphocytes from pancreatectomized diabetes-free mice exhibited low response to islet cells but responded normally to alloantigens. These results suggest that the islet cell mass plays a critical role in development of autoimmune diabetes.

Protection of nonobese diabetic mice from autoimmune diabetes by reduction of islet mass before insulitis.
