VIP and tolerance induction in autoimmunity
Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) is a potent antiinflammatory agent with immunoregulatory properties, skewing the immune response to a Th2 pattern of cytokine production. Here, we studied the effect of treatment with VIP in the development of diabetes in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice, an annual mo...
