BACKGROUND
Complement Factor D is part of the alternative pathway of the complement cascade and plays an early and central role in activating the pathway. Complement Factor C3b is generated from complement component C3 by the C3 convertase enzyme, distinct forms of which are produced following
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention is generally in the field of methods for the treatment and prevention of inflammatory responses using peptides derived from selectins.
The adherence of platelets and leukocytes to vascular surfaces is a critical component of the inflammatory response, and

BACKGROUND
Lectins bind to carbohydrate moieties, e.g. acetylglucosamine, that are ubiquitous in the mammalian extracellular matrix. This suggests the possibility that lectins may be used to coat the matrix and limit further binding of collagen, elastin, and other connective tissue components to
