Methods of modulating the negative chemotaxis of immune cells

1. A method of inducing migration of an immune cell toward an ovarian cancer cell comprising inhibiting the activity of a chemorepellant release from the cancer cell, wherein the migration of the immune cell is induced in a patient suffering from ovarian cancer, and wherein the inhibition of the chemorepellant is carried out by the administration of an antibody which binds to apolipoprotein A1.

2. A method of inducing negative chemotaxis of a neutrophil in a patient in need thereof comprising administering apolipoprotein A1 to said patient in an amount effective to induce negative chemotaxis of the neutrophil, wherein the patient is suffering from an inflammatory condition, wherein the apolipoprotein A1 is administered locally, and wherein the inflammatory condition is selected from the group consisting of injection site reaction, Behcet's syndrome, synovitis, gout, fasciitis, arthritides, uveitis, burns, dermatitis, dermatomyositis, urticaria, acne, adult respiratory distress syndrome, bronchitis, emphysema, rhinitis, cystic fibrosis, pneumonitis, pneumoultramicroscopic silicovolcanoconiosis, alveolitis, bronchiolitis, pharyngitis, pleurisy, sinusitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute lung injury, and hay fever.
