ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns compositions and methods useful for the prevention or amelioration of autoimmune diseases. Specifically exemplified are compositions and methods useful in immunizing to prevent insulin dependent diabetes. In a preferred embodiment, diabetes is prevented by the parenteral administration of a composition comprising specific antigenic peptides of insulin and further comprising incomplete Fruend's adjuvant.
