- Previous studies have suggested that the development of diabetes in the BB rats does not require the expression of T lymphopenia. In order to derive non-lymphopenic diabetic rats and define the relationship between the T cell abnormalities, MHC genotype, and diabetes, we performed a cross between BB/H and diabetes resistant BB/control followed by an intercross of the F1. In the F2, the overall incidence of diabetes and lymphopenia was 30% and 27%, respectively. Lymphopenia was strongly associated with diabetes (p less than 0.001) and was seen in 76% of the diabetic F2's. However, 6 of the diabetic were non-lymphopenic (24%) and 3 of the non-diabetics were lymphopenic (5%). In the non-lymphopenic diabetic animals, all T cell levels were within the normal range, but diabetes occurred at an earlier age than their lymphopenic littermates (p less than 0.001). In contrast to the strong association between the inheritance of lymphopenia and diabetes, no relationship between diabetes and Class I MHC restriction fragment length polymorphisms was found. We conclude: 1) Diabetes and lymphopenia are strongly associated inherited abnormalities in the BB rat and are not associated with Class I RFLP defined genotypes within the RTIu haplotype, 2) Animals in whom diabetes occurs in the absence of lymphopenia can be derived using this breeding approach 3) In our non-lymphopenic rats, diabetes occurred at an earlier age possibly reflecting the restoration of quantitative or qualitative T cell defects found in lymphopenic BB rats.
