Abstract: A method of treating, preventing, or delaying the progression of Type 1 diabetes mellitus by administering an effective amount of a fusion protein composition comprising a T-cell co-stimulation antagonist and a portion of an immunoglobulin molecule and an effective amount of a Type 1 diabetes autoantigen. The method includes, for example, administering a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4) molecule and a Type 1 diabetes autoantigen. Pharmaceutical compositions are also provided herewith.

Abstract: A new markers for insulin production decline in Type 1 diabetes has been found in the ratio the CD4 naïve (CD45RO?CD62L+) to central memory (CD45RO+CD62L+) and in the level of CD4 central memory T-cell subpopulations.
Abstract: A method of treating, preventing, or delaying the progression of Type 1 diabetes mellitus autoimmunity by administering an effective amount of a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4) molecule is provided herewith. The CTLA4 molecule may be a fusion protein of a CTLA4 extracellular region and an immunoglobulin, such as abatacept.
