Abstract
The influx of leukocytes into the lung and other organs during sepsis or other infectious or non-infectious trauma can be inhibited by the administration of anti-CD18 monoclonal antibodies. Such inhibition results in a prevention and/or diminishment of organ damage in inflammations and especially in endotoxic shock and adult respiratory distress syndrome.
