		Research at the center seeks to capitalize on an important feature of the immune system-it has many components, some which can cause diabetes or make it worse, and some that can protect against it.
		When the researchers gave proinsulin-or just pieces of it-to mice through the nose or lungs so that it reached their mucosal membranes, they found that a protective type of T cells, called regulatory T cells, were induced.
		Research studying certain T cells called cytotoxic T cells (CTL) that are known to be responsible for destruction of beta cells.

	in-cites - Walter & Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI)
		The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) has a proud tradition of research in Immunology, beginning with the Clonal Selection Theory of Nobel Laureate F. Burnet, then continuing with the studies of J.F.A.P. Miller on the thymic origin of T lymphocytes and of G.J.V. Nossal on antibody synthesis by B lymphocytes.
		Firstly, research from laboratories which might seem to be outside the field of immunology has produced important immunological insights.
		Collaborative interactions are also the strength of a new research team on B lymphocytes, as the cell signalling studies of David Tarlinton, Lynn Corcoran, and Steve Gerondakis interact with the developmental approach of Stephen Nutt and the systems biology approach of Phil Hodgkin; citations from this new group are beginning to rise.

	PM - Vaccine may prevent onset of diabetes
		MARK COLVIN: A medical trial in Melbourne has shown for the first time that a vaccine can prevent the onset of type one diabetes.

		LEN HARRISON: It works in animal models of experimental auto-immune disease, no doubt, but it hasn't yet been translated clearly into a clinical effect in humans, and that's why I think our study is a landmark study in that respect, because it shows the evidence that it can be done.
