    摘要: A method of inhibiting the invasion of cells, particularly malignant cells through an extracellular membrane by contacting the membrane-cell interface with synthetic Arg-Gly-Asp-containing peptides. In one embodiment, the invention provides peptides containing the amino acid sequence Arg-Gly-Asp-Thr, more specifically Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Thr-Pro, which inhibits the attachment of cells to type I collagen in addition to fibronectin and vitronectin, and a method of inhibiting the attachment of cells to type I collagen. The invention further provides an assay for quantitating the invasive quality of cells by determining the amount of such peptides necessary to prevent the cells from penetrating an extracellular membrane, such as an amniotic membrane, in vitro.

    摘要: An adhesion receptor for laminin is provided. The receptor is isolated from cell or tissue extracts and fractionated on an affinity column composed of cell attachment-promoting fragments of laminin coupled to Sepharose.TM. in the presence of divalent cations. This receptor can be used to prepare specific antibodies for the analysis of the amount of laminin receptor expressed by cells and has other applications in cellular and tumor biology.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for preventing and/or reducing cellular and tissue damage caused by reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) released by phagocytic or endothelial cells in response to various disease states or pathologies. The methods of the present invention are useful in preventing and treating a variety of disease states or pathological situations in which ROMs are produced and released. The methods of the present invention contemplate reducing ROM-mediated damage by reducing the production and release of ROMs.

    摘要: Methods for obtaining beneficial stable levels of circulating histamine are disclosed for use in methods for enhancing natural killer cell cytotoxicity and for elevating histamine levels in individuals in need thereof. In such methods, a beneficial level of circulating histamine is attained and an agent whose ability to enhance natural killer cell cytotoxicity is augmented by histamine is administered. Alternatively, stable beneficial levels of circulating histamine can be attained in subjects receiving chemotherapy or antiviral treatment. The invention may also be employed in treatments combining histamine, agents which enhance natural killer cell cytotoxicity, and chemotherapeutic agents. Optimization of the delivery of histamine and substances which induce the release of endogenous histamine are also disclosed.
