Brief description Islet grafts offer diabetic patients the promise of a return to insulin-independence. In this project we will study how natural regulatory T cells suppress islet graft rejection in a mouse model. We will determine where regulatory T cells interact with graft-rejecting T cells, and define the mechanisms used to mediate their suppressive effects. Our findings will aid in developing new ways to induce long-term acceptance of islet grafts without immunosuppressive drugs.
