Abstract

The data on the pathogenesis of autoimmune problems of diabetes and its variants – LADA (latent autoimmune diabetes in adults) have been presented. It is established that one of the possible mechanisms of long-term preservation of endogenous insulin secretion in LADA is the activation of Fas / FasL apoptotic immune cells. Since Th2-cells are resistant to this mechanism, apoptosis, one can assume a more active elimination of autoaggressive Th1-lymphocytes from the circulation, less pronounced cell-mediated destruction b-cells and more «benign» course of insulitis at LADA patients.

Key words
