Abstract
Peptide medicaments, and antibody thereto, useful for treating or preventing diseases, particularly diseases involving an inflammatory response by a host organism against infection, that are preferably derived from the .beta. subunit, CD18, of the leukocyte integrins, and that have the property of either interfering with, or preventing undesirable leukocyte adhesion to biological materials, particular to endothelial cells, or that interfere with, or prevent the chemotaxis of leukocytes through the endothelial cell monolayer, consequently minimizing undesirable cell/tissue leukocyte binding and thus preventing or minimizing diseases resulting therefrom.
