Abstract
Virus infections have been linked to the induction of autoimmunity and disease development in human type 1 diabetes. Experimental models have been instrumental in deciphering processes leading to break of immunological tolerance and type 1 diabetes development. Animal models have also been useful for proof-of-concept studies and for preclinical testing of new therapeutic interventions. This chapter describes two robust and clinically relevant mouse models for virus-induced type 1 diabetes; acceleration of disease onset in prediabetic nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice following Coxsackievirus infection and diabetes induction by lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection of transgenic mice expressing viral neo-antigens under control of the rat insulin promoter (RIP).
