Abstract
⺠Insulin expression in BM-derived thymic APCs is not essential for central tolerance of β-cells. ⺠Insulin expression in the spleen is restricted to Aire+CD11intB220+Gr1+ DCs. ⺠Insulin deletion in CD11c+ DCs induces increased insulitis in B6g7 mice. ⺠Peripheral insulin expression plays a role in maintaining β-cell tolerance.
