Introduction In this study, immunoneutralization of endogenous insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin with specific antibodies was used in an isolated perfused human pancreas (IPHP) model. Aims To study intrapancreatic cellular interactions and pancreat

Summary The availability of highly purified human islets has increased with the progressive improvement of isolation methods. This has provided opportunities to perform various in vitro studies on human islets. However, when islets are maintained in

Background. The University of California Islet Transplant Consortium was formed to evaluate the feasibility of performing clinical islet transplantation at different transplant centers by using a single centralized islet isolation laboratory. Methods

Allograft rejection is the major cause for failure in clinical islet transplantation for diabetic patients. A reduction of donor islet immunogenicity is potentially a useful approach for altering recipient's immune responses. Studies in animal models

Work in rodents has shown that injection of pancreatic islets of Langerhans into the thymus can induce donor-specific unresponsiveness to islets subsequently transplanted to extrathymic sites. The overall objective of our investigation is to test thi

Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) catalyzes formation of γ-aminobutyric acid from glutamic acid and is a major autoantigen in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Its two isoforms, GAD65 and GAD67, are encoded by two separate genes. We prepared huma

In the pancreas, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) immunoreactivity has been described in nerve fibers and in distinct types of islet cells. This unique, apparently species-specific cell-type expression prompted the present investigation to clar

This study was undertaken to determine whether intraislet somatostatin inhibits insulin secretion in the human islet. A high-affinity monoclonal somatostatin antibody was used to immunoneutralize somatostatin in the isolated, perfused human pancreas.

The ability to transfer genetic material from one cell to another provides a novel approach for the investigation and potential treatment of a variety of diseases. Several gene transfer techniques have been developed. Of these, the use of retroviruse

Among a series of 107 closely followed patients with gastrinoma, 60 patients with sporadic type tumors were identified and evaluated. There were 44 patients (73%) with tumors to the right of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Of these, 16 (36%) ha
