A mediator substance exhibiting inhibitory effect upon anabolic enzyme activity in mammals, is prepared by a method comprising gathering a sample of macrophage cells from a mammal, incubating a portion of the macrophage cells with a stimulating material that is associated with an invasive event, and inducing the macrophage cells to produce the mediator substance. The stimulator materials, for example, may include endotoxins, trypanosomes and the like, and the enzymes that may be observed range from lipoprotein lipase, acetyl Coenzyme A carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase, to the inducers for red blood cells growth and differentiation. The mediator substance may be utilized to raise antibodies which would in turn find utility in testing for the presence or amount of various invasive stimuli, such as infection and the like. Testing procedures and appropriate materials in kit form are also contemplated. The mediator substance may likewise be utilized in procedures as a screening agent, to test for potentially effective anti-shock agents or chemicals.
