The methodology reported in the publication for identification of autoimmune cells in diabetic patients relies upon the Ii-Key technology developed at Antigen Express.  Specifically, attaching the Ii-Key segment to an antigenic peptide designed to activate CD4+ T helper cells increases the potency of the peptide while not altering its specificity.  To date, this technology has been used successfully to increase the potency of a variety of antigenic peptides.  The most advanced Ii-Key modified peptide clinically is a HER2 peptide that is currently in a Phase II clinical trial as an immunotherapeutic vaccine for patients with breast cancer.

In the case of Type 1 diabetes, autoimmunity is directed at insulin producing cells in the pancreas; in particular, towards the proinsulin and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD65) proteins.  The study reports that Ii-Key modified peptides from each of these proteins were ca
