Brief description MHC molecules act as traffic lights to the immune system telling it whether to stop or go, so that only when there is an infection does the immune system receive the signal to destroy target cells. However, the immune system in Type 1 Diabetes patients receives signals to destroy the insulin-producing cells when there is no apparent infection. We aim to determine where the faulty traffic signal occurs and so be in a better position to design intervention strategies to prevent Type 1 Diabetes.
