Publication number: 20130101992Abstract: There is an association between enteroviruses and type 1 diabetes (T1D). The present invention is based on the finding that particular enterovirus serotypes are T1D risk serotypes, while others are protective against the disease. The present invention relates to a diagnostic assay for type 1 diabetes (T1D), and especially to an assay for predicting the risk of contracting the disease. It also relates to a method of monitoring the efficacy of antiviral treatments aiming at prevention of T1D. The invention still further relates to a diagnostic kit.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2011Publication date: April 25, 2013Applicant: Vactech OYInventors: Heikki Hyoty, Mikael Knip, Olli Laitinen, Outi Tolonen, Minna Pulkki, Sami Oikarinen, Hanna-Riikka Honkanen, Valerie Lecouturier, Jeffrey Almond

Publication number: 20120003240Abstract: Coxsackie B virus CBV1 has been found to be strongly associated with the risk of contracting type 1 diabetes. A vaccine comprising CBV1, a component thereof or an antibody thereto is provided for use in preventing or treating type 1 diabetes. In addition CBV2 was also found to be diabetogenic.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2011Publication date: January 5, 2012Applicants: VACTECH OY, SANOFI PASTEURInventors: Heikki Hyoty, Mikael Knip, Olli Laitinen, Outi Tolonen, Minna Pulkki, Sami Oikarinen, Hanna-Riikka Honkanen, Valerie Lecouturier, Jeffrey Almond, Malin Flodstrom-Tullberg

Publication number: 20120003238Abstract: Some coxsackie B viruses have been found to have a protective effect on type 1 diabetes, while others increase the risk of the disease. This opens up new therapeutic implications in the form of vaccines. The protective viruses CBV3, CBV4, CBV5 and CBV6 may be used in live attenuated vaccines for preventing or treating type 1 diabetes. They may also be used for inducing an immune response against risk viruses like CBV1, and for eliminating the diabetogenic effect of the risk viruses. Type 1 diabetes may be prevented especially by vaccinating with live attenuated protective viruses CBV3, CBV4, CVB5 and CBV6, and further with inactivated diabetogenic/risk virus CBV1, components thereof or antibodies thereto.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2011Publication date: January 5, 2012Applicants: VACTECH OY, SANOFI PASTEURInventors: Heikki Hyoty, Mikael Knip, Olli Laitinen, Outi Tolonen, Minna Pulkki, Sami Oikarinen, Hanna-Riikka Honkanen, Valerie Lecouturier, Jeffrey Almond
