We here report that alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, a typical acute phase protein, protects mice from lethal shock induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF) or endotoxin. The protection is observed both in normal and in galactosamine-sensitized mice. Optimal desensitization requires at least 3 mg alpha 1-acid glycoprotein administered 2 h before the lethal challenge. Under these conditions, complete inhibition of all TNF-induced metabolic changes was observed: fall in body temperature, release of liver transaminases, enhanced clotting time, and mortality. The known platelet aggregation-inhibitory activity of alpha 1-acid glycoprotein provides a possible explanation for this protective capacity.
