HSP60 DERIVED PEPTIDES AND PEPTIDE ANALOGS FOR SUPPRESSION AND TREATMENT OF NON-AUTOIMMUNE DIABETES

摘要

The present invention provides methods of prevention and treatment of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) using peptides and analogs of heat shock protein 60 (hsp60), and for suppression, prevention and treatment of complications associated with T2D. The invention is exemplified using DiaPep277(TM), a peptide analog of human hsp60. The invention further relates treatment regimens useful for suppression, prevention or treatment of T2D.
