Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of identifying and/or addressing incipient preeclampsia in a patient-subject by the steps of (a) performing a bioassay to determine the level of at least one sialyl Lewis antigen in a said patient-subject at about 25 weeks of pregnancy or earlier; (b) performing a bioassay to determine the level of at least one sialyl Lewis antigen in a pregnant non-preeclampsia one or more subjects at about 30 weeks of pregnancy or later, wherein said at least one sialyl Lewis antigen assay is for a sialyl Lewis antigen assayed in step (a) is and if more than one subject is assayed, averaging said results; and (c) managing said patient-subject for preeclampsia, if said level of at least one sialyl Lewis antigen of step (a) is at or greater than about 20% above the level of such silalyl Lewis antigen assayed in step (b).

Abstract: A selectin-binding active agents in the form of gestation proteins or fragments thereof, of liposomes which include Ca-binding compounds, of mucin fragments obtained or derived from native sources, or of mimicry compounds which imitate sialylated Lewis type carbohydrate structures (sLe), or combinations thereof, in the treatment and prophylaxis of diseases, in the course of which inflammatory processes are involved, such as autoimmune diseases, transplantations and arteriosclerosis. Inflammatory diseases in the meaning of the invention can be those of infectious or non-infectious nature. The active agents provide partial or complete prevention of tumor metastasizing, wherein administration of the active agents can be prophylactic, or can be effected in association with e.g. operative removal of a primary tumor or during a biopsy. The above active agents are used in the prophylaxis of tumor diseases.
