Insulin itself is a prototypical TRA, its synthesis being virtually restricted to pancreatic beta cells. Thymic insulin production is critical for establishing self-tolerance to beta cells; simply abolishing insulin expression in the thymus leads to the rapid onset of autoimmune diabetes even in mice lacking a diabetogenic genetic background [26]. In humans, thymic insulin expression is modulated by allelic variation and epigenetic effects at the insulin gene locus; this effect is largely mediated by a polymorphic variable nucleotide tandem repeat (VNTR) sequence.
