摘要:
A purified, isolated DNA sequence encoding human bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein and biologically-active fragments thereof is provided.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for treatment of humans exposed to bacterial endotoxin in circulation by administration of bactericidal/permeability-increasing (BPI) protein products. Serologically and hematologically verifiable alleviation of endotoxin mediated increases in circulating cytokines, fibrinolysis and coagulation factors and changes in lymphocyte counts are observed upon such treatment. Also observed is alleviation of endotoxin mediated decreases in systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) and concomitant increases in cardiac index (CI).
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to small derivatized peptide-based constructs and their therapeutic uses. The sequences of these derivatized peptide-based constructs are based on a reverse subsequence derived from Domain II of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI).

摘要:
Disclosed are novel biologically active lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) derivatives including LBP derivative hybrid proteins which are characterized by the ability to bind to and neutralize LPS and which lack the CD14-mediated immunostimulatory properties of holo-LBP.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to derivatized antifungal compounds that are peptide-based constructs derived from or based on subsequences of Domain III (amino acids 142-169) of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI) and in vivo or in vitro uses of such compounds.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and materials for the recombinant microbial production of fusion proteins and peptides derived from or based on Domain I (amino acids 17-45), Domain II (amino acids 65-99) and Domain III (amino acids 142-169) of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI).
摘要:
The present invention provides a composition comprising a BPI Protein and an anionic compound which composition exhibits (1) no bacterial activity and (2) endotoxin neutralizing activity. Also, this invention provides methods for using BPI Proteins.
