The present invention provides a method of treating inflammation, comprising administering an antagonist to .alpha.E.beta.7. The present invention further provides a method of preventing inflammation, comprising administering an antagonist to .alpha.E.beta.7. Also provided is a method of screening for a substance effective in reducing the inflammatory effects of .alpha.E.beta.7 comprising administering the substance to an animal having an established inflammatory disease; assaying inflammatory tissue cells from the animal for an amount of secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, inflammatory cytokines or chemokines, whereby a decrease in the amount of proinflammatory cytokines, inflammatory cytokines or chemokines secreted by the inflammatory tissue cells of the animal as compared to the amount of proinflammatory cytokines, inflammatory cytokines or chemokines secreted by inflammatory tissue cells of a control animal having an inflammatory disease and without having the substance administered indicates the substance is effective in reducing the inflammatory effect of .alpha.E.beta.7. Additionally, the present invention provides a method of screening for a substance effective in preventing the inflammatory effects of .alpha.E.beta.7.

La présente invention concerne un procédé de traitement de l'inflammation. Ce procédé consiste à administrer un antagoniste de .alpha.?E¿.beta.¿7?. La présente invention traite également d'un procédé permettant d'éviter l'inflammation, consistant à administrer un antagoniste de .alpha.?E¿.beta.¿7?. Par ailleurs, l'invention a aussi pour objet un procédé d'analyse d'une substance permettant de réduire avec efficacité les effets inflammatoires de .alpha.?E¿.beta.¿7? consistant à administrer ladite substance à un animal souffrant d'une maladie inflammatoire, à analyser les cellules tissulaires enflammées pour détecter une quantité sécrétée de cytokines proinflammatoires, de cytokines ou de chémokynes inflammatoires. Selon ce procédé une réduction de la quantité de cytokines proinflammatoires, de cytokines ou de chémokynes inflammatoires secrétées par les cellules tissulaires inflammatoires de l'animal par rapport auxuantités des mêmes substances secrétées chez un animal témoin souffrant d'une maladie inflammatoire mais non traité par la substance selon l'invention montre que ladite substance permet de réduire avec efficacité l'effet inflammatoire de .alpha.?E¿.beta.¿7?. En outre, la présente invention concerne un procédé d'analyse permettant de détecter une substance prévenant avec efficacité les effets inflammatoires de .alpha.?E¿.beta.¿7?.
