Abstract

Proteins are described that affect adhesion of white blood cells (WBCs) to endothelial cells (ECs). The proteins include inter-.alpha.-trypsin inhibitor, .alpha..sub.1 -M, and HI-30. When administered in therapeutically effective amounts, these proteins can alter adhesion between WBCs and ECs to ultimately prevent inflammatory-type diseases.
