To explore further whether the autoimmune diabetes-prone genetic background affects the development of colitogenesis in our Blimp-1 deficiency-mediated colitis model, we characterised the disease kinetics and severity in autoimmune diabetes-prone NOD (NOD.LckCrePrdm1F/F) mice17 and diabetes-resistant C57BL/6 (B6.LckCrePrdm1F/F) mice.13 This evidence concerns the gene PRDM1 and diabetes mellitus.
