Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the insulin-producing beta cells are destroyed. Diabetic patients manage their hyperglycemia by daily insulin injections. However, insulin therapy is by no means a cure. Accordingly, a significant effort has been ongoing to develop immunotherapies that effectively prevent and/or treat T1D in the clinic. This review focuses on antigen- and antibody-based immunotherapies and discusses the respective strengths and weaknesses of these approaches.
1型糖尿病(T1D)是一种自身免疫性疾病,其中产生胰岛素的β细胞被破坏。糖尿病患者通过每日注射胰岛素来控制高血糖。然而,胰岛素治疗绝不是一种治愈方法。因此,一直在进行大量努力来开发能够在临床上有效预防和/或治疗T1D的免疫疗法。本综述重点关注基于抗原和抗体的免疫疗法,并讨论这些方法各自的优缺点。
