| 摘要 |
The subject invention provides recombinant nucleic acid molecules which encode a BPI variant, an LBP variant, an LBP-BPI chimera, a BPI-IgG chimera, an LBP-IgG chimera, or an LBP-BPI-IgG chimera, and the proteins encoded thereby. The subject invention further provides host vector systems for the production of a BPI variant, LBP variant, LBP-BPI chimera, BPI-IgG chimera, LBP-IgG chimera, or LBP-BPI-IgG chimera, and methods of using same for producing said proteins. The subject invention provides a pharmaceutical composition, which comprises a therapeutically effective amount of a BPI variant, an LBP variant, an LBP-BPI chimera, a BPI-IgG chimera, an LBP-IgG chimera, or an LBP-BPI-IgG chimera, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and the method of using same to treat a subject suffering from an endotoxin-related disorder. Finally, the subject invention provides a method of preventing an endotoxin-related disorder in a subject, which comprises administering to the subject a prophylactically effective amount of a BPI variant, an LBP variant, an LBP-BPI chimera, a BPI-IgG chimera, an LBP-IgG chimera. |
