During the past 5 years, impressive progress has been made in
understanding the etiopathogenesis of expeiimental and clinical
diabetes. The rapid progress that has been made in the general
field of immunology has made possible new understanding regarding
the role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of diabetes. The
other two areas in which recent progress has been made in the field
of diabetes include genetics and the role of infectious agent(s) in
the etiopathogenesis of diabetes. Because of these recent
developments, a vast amount of data has been accumulated and
published in a number of metabolic, endocrine, immunological, and
general medicine journals. The purpose of this book is to
consolidate all the available information and present it in its
current state. In the present volume, I strive to bring together
relevant contributions from leaders in the fields of
immunopathology, immunobiology, and genetics. The advancing
understanding has in several instances reached the point of
clinical applica tion. This volume encompasses the entire scope of
modem immunology of diabetes mellitus. This volume has been divided
into two major parts, Experimental Diabetes and Clinical Diabetes.
In the Experimental part are included chapters dealing with the
structure and functions of insulin and the immune response to
insulin. Spontaneous and experimentally induced models of type I
diabetes mellitus are presented. The role of virus(es) in the
etiology of experimental diabetes and the influence of sex on
experi mental diabetes are discussed. The transplantation of
pancreas and islets is reviewed in detail."
