<i>α</i> <sub>1</sub> -Antitrypsin Gene Therapy Modulates Cellular Immunity and Efficiently Prevents Type 1 Diabetes in Nonobese Diabetic Mice
1 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
An imbalance of the immune-regulatory pathways plays an important role in the development of type 1 diabetes. Therefore, immunoregulatory and antiinflammatory strategies hold great potential for the prevention of this autoimmune disease. Studies have demonstrated that two serine proteinase inhibitors, alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) and elafin, act as potent antiinflammatory agents. In the present study, we sought to...
