Islet transplantation can restore normoglycemia in diabetic patients. However, its application is limited by the high number of islets required to reverse diabetes. As the mass and potency of most human islet preparations are marginal, a large impact on the applicability of islet transplantation is expected from the implementation of strategies that improve engraftment of these islet preparations. The roles of adaptive immunity and immunosuppression on islet engraftment are not well studied. Therefore, the effects of currently used immunosuppression with antilymphocyte serum, tacrolimus and sirolimus on islet engraftment were separated from their impact on immunity and diabetes reversal rates were compared after islet allotransplantation in...
