FIG. 2.
Development of diabetes in female NOD mice infected with T3A. Two-day-old NOD mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with either 1 × 105 PFU of T3A or an equivalent dilution of L929 cell lysate in a volume of 10 μl. Glucose homeostasis in infected and control female mice was monitored for 30 weeks by weekly assessment of glycosuria. The diagnosis of diabetes was established by two consecutive findings of glycosuria at a 1-week interval. P values were determined by using the log rank test. (A) Experiment I. (B) Experiment II.
