Sequence homology between CVB P2C and GAD65 (PEVKEK) has been suggested to induce T1D through molecular mimicry [246,247], although other studies describing inoculation of non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice with CVB3 illustrate long-term protection from T1D rather than the development of the disease [248,249,250,251]. This evidence concerns the gene GAD2 and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
