Drug test to stop T1 B4 happens

[DennisIDDM]

A new class of drug, the anti-CD3 antibody, is currently being developed. CD3s are the immune T-cells that cause the body’s destruction of its own islet cells. It is hoped that the anti-CD3 drugs will delay or prevent this destruction, circumventing the need for islet transplant surgery. Immunologist Herman Waldmann, who pioneered this idea beginning in 1993, likened it to orchestrating a “cease-fire” in the body’s immune system.ii Clinical trials are still underway for this promising treatment for Type 1 diabetes.

I recently heard a research update by the head of JDRF's research department who said the same thing.  All my notes from that update are at home, though.  I'll see if I can find it tonight.
