ABSTRACT:
A method for decreasing the concentration of free actin in the plasma of an animal is described which comprises the administration of native and modified actin-binding proteins, and especially the administration of native and modified actin-binding regions of gelsolin. Diagnostic methods for identifying animals in need of such treatment are also described.
