DiaPep277 

DiaPep277 is a 24 amino acid peptide derived from positions 437-460 in HSP60. DiaPep277 arrests the progression of β-cell destruction in NOD mice. DiaPep277 has an immune modulatory effect on diabetogenic T cells in animal models of diabetes^[1][2].

DiaPep277 (50 μg; i.p.; single dosage) causes strong splenic T cells responses, and strong diabetogenic clones 27, C7, and C9 responses^[2].
