Owing to advances in both immunosuppressive protocols and pancreatic islet isolation techniques, insulin independence has recently been achieved in type 1 insulin-dependent diabetics (IDDM) via pancreatic islet transplantation (PIT). Although the dissemination of immunosuppressive protocols is relatively easy, transferring the knowledge and expertise required to isolate a large number of quality human islets for transplantation is a far greater challenge. Therefore, in an attempt to centralize the critical islet processing needed for islet transplantation and to avoid the development of another islet processing center, we have established a collaborative islet transplant program between two geographically distant transplant centers.
