I’m beyond excited to share the latest updates on SAB BIO’s groundbreaking clinical trial for SAB-142, a drug that could be part of the cure for type 1 diabetes! 💡 Here’s why this is HUGE: 🔬 SAB-142 is a safe & innovative immunomodulator—without nasty side effects! 🐄 It’s a human-derived immunoglobulin, produced in genetically cloned cows (yes, really!) 🛡️ It stops the immune system from attacking insulin-producing cells—without making patients sick. 💉 Unlike older immunoglobulin treatments, it can be given more than once safely! 🔥 Latest Trial Results: ✅ No serum sickness—meaning it’s safe for repeat doses! ✅ It works like traditional rabbit-based immunoglobulin, but without the risks. ✅ NO anti-drug antibodies, meaning it doesn’t lose effectiveness over time! ✅ Quick recovery time with no major side effects! 🎯 Why This Matters: 💙 Could preserve natural insulin production in newly diagnosed patients. 💙 Might prevent type 1 diabetes for those in Stage 2. 💙 Could help long-term T1Ds with cell transplants. This could mean fewer insulin injections, better blood sugar control, and lower risk of complications for people with type 1 diabetes.

🚨 BREAKING: SAB BIO’s New Clinical Trial Results for SAB-142!
I’m beyond excited to share the latest updates on SAB BIO’s groundbreaking clinical trial for SAB-142, a drug that could be part of the cure for type 1 diabetes!

💡 Here’s why this is HUGE:
🔬 SAB-142 is a safe & innovative immunomodulator—without nasty side effects!
🐄 It’s a human-derived immunoglobulin, produced in genetically cloned cows (yes, really!)
🛡️ It stops the immune system from attacking insulin-producing cells—without making patients sick.
💉 Unlike older immunoglobulin treatments, it can be given more than once safely!

🔥 Latest Trial Results:
✅ No serum sickness—meaning it’s safe for repeat doses!
✅ It works like traditional rabbit-based immunoglobulin, but without the risks.
✅ NO anti-drug antibodies, meaning it doesn’t lose effectiveness over time!
✅ Quick recovery time with no major side effects!

🎯 Why This Matters:
💙 Could preserve natural insulin production in newly diagnosed patients.
💙 Might prevent type 1 diabetes for those in Stage 2.
💙 Could help long-term T1Ds with cell transplants.

This could mean fewer insulin injections, better blood sugar control, and lower risk of complications for people with type 1 diabetes.
