Eligibility


Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years to 65 Years (Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:	All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

type 1 insulin-dependent diabetic patients in relatively good general condition
non-smoker
body weight < 80 kg
C-peptide < 0.03 nmol/l (<0.09 µg/l) 6 min. after glucagon IV (1mg) (glycemia > 180 mg/dl)
EBV antibody positive
cooperative and reliable patient giving informed consent by signature; the patient should be informed in sufficient detail on the content and procedure of the protocol, indicating potential risks of intervention and of immunosuppressive therapy; the patient should also be informed that withdrawal of immunosuppressive therapy in patients with persistent plasma C-peptide positivity may result in subsequent loss of ß-cell graft function; the ß cell implant should be identified as a clinical trial

Exclusion Criteria:

history of thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
abnormal liver function
HLA antibodies
