A β cell centered view of antigen-presentation. (1) Stressed APC-like β cells directly present antigens to activate adaptive immune cells; (2) Dysfunctional β cells secret autoantigen containing granules which are subsequently up-taken and processed by professional APCs; (3) Dying β cells themselves and the released pro-inflammatory molecules further amplify the antigen presenting process.
