<p>Methods and compositions are provided for preventing the development of a T cell mediated autoimmune disease such as Type I diabetes, in which susceptible subjects have T cells sensitised to a disease-related antigen. Subjects are treated by administration of the antigen or fragments thereof to prevent the expansion of the population of sensitised T cells. Alternatively, subjects are treated by administration of immunogenic compositions comprising a mimicry antigen or fragments thereof.</p> |
