ABSTRACT:
Compositions and methods for treating inflammatory cell infiltration in a tissue of a mammalian subject are provided. The method involves administering a therapeutically effective amount of SERP-1, SERP-1 analog or biologically active fragment thereof admixed with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to a subject in need of such treatment. Biologically active SERP-1 analogs are also provided. The compositions and methods of the present invention are useful for treating numerous inflammatory based diseases and injuries.
