A previously unrecognized fundamental property of α.sub.1PI is to regulate the phenotypic composition of circulating and tissue-associated cells derived from hematopoietic stem cells. The present invention comprises screening for various unmodified and modified α.sub.1PI's which are useful in the treatment of abnormalities in the number of cells of myeloid or lymphoid lineage that are associated with HIV-1 infection, microbial infection, leukemia, solid tumor cancers, atherosclerosis, autoimmunity, stem cell transplantation, organ transplantation, and other diseases affected by cells of the immune system. The interaction of α.sub.1PI with its receptors, HLE.sub.cs and LRP, influences the level of cells of different lineages. Genetic and proteolytic modification of α.sub.1PI is used to target these receptors to increase or decrease specific cell populations, as needed, in the various disease states.

A novel compound able to inhibit JAK is disclosed, this compound may be prepared as a pharmaceutical composition, and may be used for the prevention and treatment of a variety of conditions in mammals including humans, including by way of non-limiting example, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, proliferative diseases, transplantation rejection, diseases involving impairment of cartilage turnover, congenital cartilage malformations, and/or diseases associated with hypersecretion of IL6.

This invention provides a high molecular weight polysaccharide capable of binding to and inhibiting virus and related pharmaceutical formulations and methods of inhibiting viral infectivity and/or pathogenicity, as well as immunogenic compositions. The invention further includes methods of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and of ameliorating a symptom of aging. Additionally, the invention provides methods of detecting and/or quantifying and/or isolating viruses.

The current invention involves a series of fully recombinant multimerized forms of immunoglobulin Fc which thereby present polyvalent immunoglobulin Fc to immune cell receptors. The fusion proteins exist as both homodimeric and highly ordered multimeric fractions, termed stradomers. In comparison to the homodimeric fraction, purified multimeric stradomers have higher affinity and avidity for FcγRs with slower dissociation and are useful in the treatment and prevention of disease. The current invention demonstrates that directly linking IgG1 Fc regions to multimerization domains leads to enhanced multimerization and biological activity.
