USE OF BACTERICIDAL/PERMEABILITY INCREASING PROTEIN OR BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE ANALOGS THEREOF TO TREAT LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE ASSOCIATED GRAM NEGATIVE INFECTIONS

摘要

The present invention provides a method of inhibiting lipopolysaccharide (LPS)mediated stimulation of cells. This method comprises contacting the cells, in the presence of a cell-stimulating amount of lipopolysaccharide, with Bactericidal/Permeability Increasing Protein (BPI) in an amount effective to inhibit cell stimulation.
