Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Nonobese diabetic mice are a well-known model for human insulin- dependent diabetes mellitus. These mice develop autoimmune-mediated inflammation of the pancreatic islets, followed by destruction of the insulin-producing β cells and development of diabetes. Nonobese diabetic mice also have salivary gland inflammation, and serve as a model for human Sjogren's syndrome. T cells are a prominent component of the inflammatory infiltrate in these sites, and T cell recruitment from the blood is thought to be essential for the initiation and maintenance of pathologic tissue damage. A unique mAb to murine CD43, L11, has recently been shown to block the migration of T cells from blood into organized lymphoid tissues. Here we demonstrate that L11 significantly inhibits T cell migration from blood into inflamed islets and salivary glands. Treatment of nonobese diabetic mice with L11 from 1 to 4 or 8 to 12 wk of age led to significant protection against the development of diabetes. Moreover, protection was long-lived, with decreased incidence of diabetes even months after cessation of Ab administration. When treatment was started at 1 wk of age, L11 inhibited the development of inflammation in pancreatic islets and salivary glands. L11 treatment had no long-term effect on numbers or phenotypes of peripheral lymphocytes. These data indicate that anti-CD43 Abs that block T cell migration may be useful agents for the prevention or treatment of autoimmune diseases including insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and Sjogren's syndrome.
