REMEDIES FOR HEPATITIS

摘要

Remedies for hepatitis which contain integrin inhibitors as the active ingredient. The integrin inhibitors are exemplified by antibodies, proteins other than the antibodies, polypeptides, peptides, nucleic acids, saccharides and derivatives thereof and low molecular weight compounds originating therein, each capable of binding to integrins. Among all, anti-VLA-4 antibody, VLA-4 inhibiting peptides and low molecular weight VLA-4 inhibiting compounds are efficacious as remedies for hepatitis.
