Transfusion of UVB-irradiated stromal cells prevents T1D in NOD mice. Eight-week-old female NOD mice were treated with three weekly transfusions of UVB-irradiated stromal cells (1 × 105/mouse) or PBS. Urine glucose was measured once a week for all mice and positive readings were confirmed by blood glucose measurement. Diabetes was diagnosed after blood glucose measured was greater than 250 mg/dL for two consecutive days. The data were analyzed by the log rank test. The difference is considered significant when p < 0.05.
