摘要:
Bactericidal/permeability increasing protein (BPI) and biologically active fragments, analogs and variants thereof are solubilized by lipid carriers including phospholipids, liposomes and nonionic detergents and stabilized against particle formation by poloxamer surfactants.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods of potentiating the gram-negative bactericidal activity of BPI protein products by means of administering LBP protein products.
摘要:
The present invention provides therapeutic methods for treatment of conditions including the neutralization of the anti-coagulant activity of heparin, inhibition of angiogenesis, tumor and endothelial cell proliferation, and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases by administration of bactericidal/permeability-increasing (BPI) protein products.

摘要:
The invention provides biologically active peptides derived from or corresponding to regions of a bactericidal permeability increasing factor (B/PI). The peptides are preferably about 10 to 100 amino acids long and have bactericidal and/or endotoxin neutralizing activity. The peptides can be prepared by automated protein synthesis or by recombinant DNA methods. The peptides are useful in methods to treat and prevent bacterial infection in the body and on surfaces. The peptides are also useful to treat endotoxin shock and have endotoxin neutralizing activity.

摘要:
A process for treating a wound in a host which comprises administering to the host having a wound at least one biologically active amphiphilic peptide. The peptide is an ion channel-forming peptide and is administered in an amount effective for treating a wound in a host.
摘要:
Improved therapeutic uses of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) involve use of BPI protein product formulations in the form of physiologically stable dimeric associations of BPI protein product monomers characterized by enhanced in vivo biological activity. Preferred formulations include 50 percent or more by weight dimeric product.
