Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Allogeneic transplantation of intrahepatic islet
Allogeneic transplantation of intrahepatic islet number required for insulin independence of obtaining, with a threshold dose of 9,000 IEQ/kg body weight of the recipient and a maximum sequence number of 3 infusions. The patient will receive after transplantation immunosuppressive therapy with Thymoglobulin for induction, Prograf and Cellcept, both of which are given throughout the duration of the study
