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 methodcomprises contacting the cells, in the presence of a cell-stimulating amountof lipopolysaccharide, with Bactericidal/PermeabilityIncreasing Protein (BPI) in an amount effective to inhibit cell stimulation.
