Abstract

The invention is based upon the newly recognized ability of .beta. chemokines to inhibit cell apoptosis. In particular, apoptosis of T cells is described. The known .beta. chemokines I-309 and TCA-3 are examples of the .beta. chemokines which inhibit apoptosis. One aspect of the invention is the use of these molecules to inhibit apoptosis. A second aspect of the invention is the use of .beta. chemokine inhibitors or antagonists to provoke apoptosis.
