pubmed:abstractText
The applicability of islet transplantation as treatment for type 1 diabetes is limited by long-term graft dysfunction, immunosuppressive drug toxicity, need for multiple donors, and increased risk of allosensitization. We describe two immunosuppressive regimens based on the costimulation blocker belatacept (BELA) or the antileukocyte functional antigen-1 antibody efalizumab (EFA), which permit long-term islet allograft survival and address some of these concerns.
