ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a novel factor comprising a polypeptide denominated ENA-78, said factor being derived from epithelial cells and having the ability to activate neutrophils, as well as DNA coding for such factors, methods of treating neutrophil deficiencies, methods of identifying inhibitors of ENA-78 using a novel assay, the inhibitors identified by such an assay, and methods for treating acute and chronic lung disorders using such inhibitors.
