Identifying Promising Immunomodulators for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and Islet Transplantation.
Summary
Transient elimination of B lymphocytes with anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody would decrease immune-mediated destruction of beta cells and result in preserved beta-cell function in patients with type 1 diabetes of recent onset.
