  • Publication number: 20020141979
    Abstract: The present invention describes methods and compositions for preventing immuno-cytotoxicity of transplanted cells. The invention provides cells and expression constructs encoding STAT-1&agr; polypeptides that prevent cytokine-mediated cytotoxicity. Thus, the invention provides treatment methods for preventing the rejection of transplanted cells by a host. In a particular embodiment, the invention provides for treatment of diabetes by transplanting into a subject insulinoma cells that secrete insulin in response to glucose and further express STAT-1&agr;, thereby conferring resistance to inflammatory cytokines involved in the cell-rejection response.
