Unbiased discovery of autoreactive type 1 diabetes T-cell receptors that bind specific hybrid insulin peptides
This study employs an unbiased approach to identify disease-associated T-cell receptors in type 1 diabetes, linking them to convergent HLA-restricted clusters and revealing their specific targets as hybrid insulin peptides, thereby establishing these receptors as potential biomarkers and clarifying the role of effector T cells in disease pathogenesis.
