摘要:
Methods are provided for the prevention and treatment of seizures and epilepsy. It is shown herein that leukocyte recruitment plays a key role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. Treatment with an agent that inhibits leukocyte recruitment has therapeutic and preventative effects in blocking recurrent seizures and epilepsy. The agent is a a selective antagonist, which binds to an adhesion molecule being a selectin or a ligand thereof, such as P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1.
