Does acetylsalicylic acid have a negative influence on photodynamic therapy?
Our study has shown that acetylsalicylic acid does not have any effect on PDT treatment.
The minimum requirements for autoimmune diabetes development in the rat include: RT1 Class II(u) genes, a T-cell repertoire containing beta-cell autoreactive T cells and a triggering event which breaks tolerance by the local up regulation of pancreatic endothelial adhesion receptors. Even when all of the minimum requirements have, however, been met, most Class II(u) rats do not develop diabetes in response to autoimmune stimuli. It is clear, nonetheless, that susceptibility to diabetes is widely distributed in the RT1(u) rat.
