         40 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the GAD protein is GAD65. 
     
     
         41 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the viral vector is a retroviral vector. 
     
     
         42 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the viral vector is a parvovirus based vector. 
     
     
         43 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the viral vector is an adeno-associated virus (AAV) based vector. 
     
     
         44 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the viral vector is an adenovirus-based vector.
