PEPTIDES FROM HUMAN ICAM-2 AND FROM HUMAN ICAM-1 AND THEIR ANALOGS FOR USE IN THERAPY AND DIAGNOSIS

摘要

ICAM-1 and ICAM-2 peptides and analogs are disclosed which are useful in preventing aggregation or adhesion of leukocytes or lymphocytes to endothelial cells. Such peptides and analogs may also be used to enhance the activity of leukocytes to target cells. Prevention of aggregation or adhesion of leukocytes or lymphocytes aids in the prevention of undesired immune responses, such as transplant rejection.
