TRIF-deficiency protects NOD mice from diabetes development and is dependent on gut microbiota. The natural history of diabetes development was observed in female WT NOD and TRIF−/−NOD until 30–32 weeks. (A) Diabetes incidence of cohoused (mixed genotype) female WT NOD and TRIF−/−NOD littermates. (B) Diabetes incidence of non-cohoused (non-mixed genotype) female WT NOD and TRIF−/−NOD mice. Data were pooled from at least two independent experiments. Log-rank test for survival was used for analysis of diabetes incidence.
