In the present report we analyze phenotypic characteristics of T cells that gain access to prostate and induce leukocyte recruitment in mice with different susceptibility to EAP. After EAP induction, NOD mice developed a specific cellular response characterized by a mixed Th1/Th17 pattern, with specific T cells mainly expressing CXCR3 that could infiltrate and damage the pro
