For the present open observation on sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), nonspecific inflammatory markers were chosen, which are supposed to be involved in the allergic cascade and which can be measured by common ELISA techniques soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), sE-selectin, soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), interleukin-12 (IL-12) and specific IgG4. Earlier investigations in this field were mostly performed on a smaller number of patients and the results are sometimes contradicting. 

Moreover, currently, inflammation is being implicated as a driving force in the diabetic atherothromboembolic process. Increased concentrations of inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, platelet-derived soluble CD40 ligand, and upregulation of cellular adhesion molecules have been noted in blood samples of diabetic patients (7-10), and are a subject of great interest.

Volume therapy with etherified starches in trauma patients results in a reduction in circulating adhesion molecules, an effect that is not observed with albumin infusion (51). Continuous infusion of pentoxifylline did not have a beneficial modulating action on circulating adhesion molecules. Adhesion molecules appear to play an important role in tissue damage secondary to the inflammatory process. Besides neutrophil- and endothelium-bound adhesion molecules, soluble forms have been detected in the circulating blood in trauma patients. They seem to be markers of endothelial damage, but they may also have other biological functions.
