A TLR9 agonist promotes IL-22-dependent pancreatic islet allograft survival in type 1 diabetic mice

Tolerance is required to prevent rejection of intrahepatic islet allografts as a potential treatment for type 1 diabetes. Here the authors show that IL-22 produced by NK1.1+cells in the liver of streptozotocin T1D model mice can drive tolerance to allografted islets.
