An Anti-CD3 Antibody, Teplizumab, in Relatives at Risk for Type 1 Diabetes

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease that leads to destruction of insulin-producing beta cells and dependence on exogenous insulin for survival. Some interventions have delayed the loss of insulin production in patients with type 1 diabetes, but interventions that might affect clinical progression before diagnosis are needed.
