DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
ch is substantially incapable of binding to Mac-1, but is substantially capable of binding to LFA-1.
The invention specifically includes those of the above-described ICAM-1 functional derivatives which comprises Domains 1, 2, 3 and 4 of ICAM-1, and especially such derivatives which contain a mutation in Domain 3 of ICAM-1. Particularly preferred mutations in Domain 3 are mutations in ICAM-1 residues 229-231, or 254-256 of ICAM-1.
The present invention also provides an ICAM-1 functional derivative, especially a soluble derivative, which is substantially incapable of binding to LFA-1, but is substantially capable of binding to Mac-1. Among such derivatives are those which lack Domain 1, of ICAM-1, and those which contain Domains 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of ICAM-1, but contain a mutation in Domains 1 or 2 of ICAM-1. Particularly preferred mutations are those in ICAM-1 residue(s) E34, Q58ED, or Q73 of Domain 1 of ICAM-1. Among preferred ICAM-1 functional derivatives which lack Domain 1 are those comprising Domains 3 and 4 of ICAM-1.
The invention also provides an ICAM-1 functional derivative which is substantially incapable of binding to Mac-1 and LFA-1, but is substantially capable of binding a human rhinovirus.
The invention also pertains to an ICAM-1 functional derivative lacking a glycosylation site, wherein the derivative is capable of enhanced binding ability to Mac-1. Most preferred for this purpose is the loss of a glycosylation site at ICAM-1 residue N269, N240 or N358 of ICAM-1.
The invention also provides an anti-inflammatory agent characterized in being capable of treating inflammation caused by a reaction of the non-specific defense system, but being substantially incapable of suppressing inflammation caused by a reaction of the specific defense system.
In particular, the invention provides an anti-inflammatory agent which is an ICAM-1 functional derivative, especially a soluble derivative, that is substantially incapable of binding to LFA-1, but is substantially capable of binding to Mac-1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS



I. Treatment of Inflammation

The present invention pertains to ICAM-1, Mac-1 and their "functional derivatives," and to antibodies (and antibody fragments) which are capable of binding to ICAM-1 and thereby affecting the ability of ICAM-1 to bind to Mac-1.
One aspect of the present invention relates to the discovery that ICAM-1 is capable of binding to Mac-1, and to the identification of the domains of ICAM-1 which are responsible for the molecule's ability to bin
