ABSTRACT:
An agent capable of inhibiting signalling mediated by a .beta..sub.1 integrin cell surface receptor of leukocyte cells will treat a bacterial infection associated with a surface of a foreign body over and around which fibrin has been deposited, or a malignant tumor over and around which tenascin has been deposited. In addition, coating a foreign body with a fibrinolytic agent will prevent chronic bacterial infection associated with the surface of the foreign body. Furthermore, an agent capable of stimulating signalling mediated by a .beta..sub.1 integrin cell surface receptor of leukocyte cells will treat chronic inflammation.
