Loss of immune tolerance to IL-2 in type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is driven by T-cell autoimmunity to pancreatic islet cells. Here the authors show that autoreactive anti-IL-2 T and B cells are present in type 1 diabetes patients, and that anti-IL-2 antibodies precede diabetes onset in mice, suggesting their potential as a diagnostic marker.
