Abstract

We have previously epidemiologically shown that type 1 diabetes is inversely associated with contact allergy. This finding is intriguing as type 1 diabetes and contact allergy are two completely different diseases, although T cells are involved in both diseases. The objective of this study was therefore to experimentally study the effect of contact allergens on the development of diabetes in non-obese diabetic mice.
