摘要:
A method for preparing a concentrated, immunoglobulin composition for treating subjects vaccinated against or infected with a pathogenic microorganism, comprising: (a) selecting a population of individuals previously vaccinated against one or more antigens associated with the pathogenic microorganism; (b) determining the level of specific antibodies immunoreactive with the pathogenic microorganism in a blood or blood component of the individuals to identify very high titre individuals having a very high titre of the specific antibodies; (c) combining blood or blood components comprising immunoglobulins from the very high titre individuals; and (d) purifying and/or concentrating the product of step (c), thereby obtaining a concentrated immunoglobulin composition. Also disclosed is a concentrated immunoglobulin composition comprising specific antibodies immunoreactive with a pathogenic microorganism, characterized in that the titre of specific antibodies of the composition is at least 5 times higher than the average titre of specific antibodies of a population of individuals previously vaccinated against one or more antigens associated with the pathogenic microorganism. The composition has a relatively high protein concentration and a low percentage of protein aggregates, and is therefore suitable for both iv and im administration. In a preferred embodiment, the pathogenic microorganism is smallpox virus or vaccinia virus.

摘要:
A concentrated, immunoglobulin composition for treating subjects vaccinated against or infected with a pathogenic microorganism, is made by (a) selecting a population of individuals previously vaccinated against antigens associated with the pathogenic microorganism; (b) identifying very high titer individuals by determining the level of specific antibodies immunoreactive with the pathogenic microorganism in the blood of the individuals; (c) combining blood from the very high titer individuals; and (d) purifying and/or concentrating the product of step (c). A concentrated immunoglobulin composition can include specific antibodies immunoreactive with a pathogenic microorganism, wherein the titer of specific antibodies is at least 5 times higher than the average titer of specific antibodies of a population of individuals previously vaccinated against antigens associated with the pathogenic microorganism. The composition has a relatively high protein concentration and a low percentage of protein aggregates. The pathogenic microorganism is preferably smallpox virus or vaccinia virus.

摘要:
Methods for preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers and their use for detection of proteins and/or polypeptides in a sample are disclosed. The methods of preparation are based on selecting from available data bases an amino acid sequence of a protein/polypeptide target molecule; cleaving the sequence in-silico with at least one cleaving agent, producing fragments with known composition; selecting at least one such fragment comprising a unique epitope; preparing a synthetic peptide representing the unique epitope; and preparing a molecularly imprinted polymer comprising specific binding sites for the synthetic peptide. For detection of the target protein in a sample, the same cleaving agent used for the in-silico cleavage is used to cleave the target protein to form the specific peptide fragments to which the MIP is specific.
