摘要:
Antibody or antigen containing microparticles for the active or passive immunization of the internal female reproductive organs, comprising: microparticles of an antigen or antibody incorporated in a matrix material which is biocompatible and biologically degradable, said microparticles capable of being transported after deposition in the vagina by the natural transport mechanism of the internal female reproductive organs across the cervix into the uterus.
摘要:
The use of a milk product containing antibodies to Streptococcus mutans for ingestion through the oral cavity and/or application to teeth to inhibit or reduce the incidence of dental caries, and the product itself.
摘要:
The invention relates to an anti-inflammatory factor isolated from milk and to methods for using this factor to remove adhered neutrophils from endothelial cells, to prevent the emigration of cells from the vasculature and to suppress the response of lymphocytes to foreign antigens.
摘要:
The invention relates to a substantially pure anti-inflammatory factor isolated from milk collected from a milk producing animal, to the purification, identification, and characterization of said factor, and to a method for treating inflammation in an animal which comprises administering to the animal an anti-inflammatorally effective amount of the anti-inflammatory factor. In a preferred embodiment, the factor is isolated from milk is produced by a milk producing animal maintained in a hyperimmunized state.
摘要:
A cell culture device is disclosed for the cultivation of animal, plant, microbiological or artificial cells. The device involves a three-dimensional arrangement of fibers within a housing arranged to provide maximum exposed fiber surface flow channel diameter while also reducing the tortuosity of the flow path. Cells are bound to the fibers to allow them to contact nutrient fluid solution and thereby to remove any substances originating in said cells, such as viruses and pharmaceuticals.
摘要:
An anti-inflammatory agent containing microparticle composition prepared by a process, comprising (a) dissolving or dispersing an anti-inflammatory agent in a solvent and dissolving a biocompatible and biodegradable wall forming material in said solvent; (b) dispersing said solvent containing said anti-inflammatory agent and wall forming material in a continuous phase processing medium; (c) evaporating a portion of said solvent from said dispersion of step (b), thereby forming microparticles containing said anti-inflammatory agent in the suspension; and (d) extracting the remainder of the solvent from said microcapsules.
摘要:
A hemoperfusion device is disclosed for the specific modification or removal of components of whole blood. The device involves a 3-dimensional arrangement of fibers within a housing arranged to provide maximum exposed fiber surface and flow-channel diameter, while also reducing the tortuosity of the flow path. Desired effector molecules are bound to the fibers to allow them to contact the target components of the blood, whereby to remove the target components. Details of the fiber and effector molecules are disclosed and a specific device is described.
