Foxp3gfp NOD mice develop accelerated autoimmune diabetes. (A) Female Foxp3gfp (n=29), Foxp3gfp/wt HET (n=19) and WT (n=25) NOD mice in the same colony were monitored weekly for diabetes onset (***p<0.001, **p<0.003; Kalpan-Meier with groups compared using the Log-rank test). (B) Insulitis scoring of Foxp3gfp and WT NOD mice was performed at 8 weeks of age. (C) Cellular infiltrate in the islets, PLN, and spleen of 8 week old pre-diabetic WT, Foxp3gfp and FoxP3GFP-hCre NOD mice were analyzed by flow cytometry (n=6–10 mice per group; *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001). Error bars represent SEM.
