ABSTRACT:
Compositions and methods are described for preventing and treating sepsis in humans and other animals. Surgical patients, low birth weight infants, burn and trauma victims, as well as other individuals at risk can be treated prophylactically. Methods for treating acute infections with advantages over current therapeutic approaches are provided. Conjugates and methods of making conjugates for the prevention and treatment of sepsis are described.
