摘要:
For the purpose of providing a method of safely and inexpensively producing a fermented plant extract containing an immunopotentiator at a high concentration, the method for fermentation and culture of the present invention ferments a plant component such as wheat flour using Pantoea agglomerans which is a gram negative bacterium which lives in a symbiotic relationship with a plant such as wheat and apple. It becomes possible to remarkably augment an immunopotentiation action which the plant has. In addition, these are not contaminated with impurities derived from animal components, and thus these are highly safe.

It has been found that a limulus-positive glycolipid is present in xanthan gum derived from Xanthomonas, which has been commercially available and eaten for many years, and this was purified, and it has been found that this limulus-positive glycolipid has an immunopotentiation effect. A method for safely and inexpensively producing the limulus-positive glycolipid containing an immunopotentiator at high concentrations is provided. The method for producing the limulus-positive glycolipid of the present invention comprises extracting the limulus-positive glycolipid from xanthan gum. A limulus-positive glycolipid composition containing the limulus-positive glycolipid can be used for various applications such as pharmaceuticals, pharmaceuticals for animals, quasi drugs, cosmetics, foods, functional foods, feedstuff and bath agents.

It is intended to provide a remedy for diseases caused by macrophages with dysfunction or mediated by macrophages. Namely, a remedy which activates the phagocytic capacity of macrophages and thus is efficiently incorporated into the macrophages due to the vigorous phagocytosis. As a result, the macrophages with dysfunction are normalized, macrophages infected with a pathogen are exterminated or a pathogen in the infected macrophages is exterminated.

An immunosuppressant comprising Glucopyranose derivatives of the formula (I): wherein R is H, OH etc; G is —CH2CH(R1—R2)(R3—R4), in which R1 is a single bond, OCO-alkyl; R2, R4 is H, phenyl which may be substituted by halogen atoms etc.; R3 is alkylene; R5 is OCO-alkyl, R6 is H, phenyl which may be substituted by halogen atoms etc. or R5—R6 is OCO—Z-(dialkoxyphenyl); R7 is H, CH2OH etc; or non-toxic salts thereof as active ingredient. Glucopyranose derivatives of the formula (I) or non-toxic salts thereof possess an activity of immunosuppression, and being useful as the prevention and/or treatment of diseases caused by abnormal enhancement of immunity, e.g. allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases.
摘要:
An analgesic composition comprising an effective amount of at least one member of LPS whose macrophage activation ED.sub.50 is 0.4-100 ng/ml of culture solution in terms of its limulus test-positive LPS content observed on a sigmoid curve prepared by determining the ability of the LPS to activate the TNF productivity of macrophage cultured in vitro, and plotting the macrophage activation ability (%) along the axis of ordinate wherein the ability is estimated to be 0% in the case where it corresponds to the quantity of TNF produced by macrophage with no LPS added thereto, and 100% is assigned to the macrophage activation ability which provides the maximal and constant quantity of TNF produced by the macrophage and plotting the limulus test-positive LPS content of the LPS along the axis of abscissa on a logarithmic scale, in admixture with a pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable carrier, such that when administered to an animal, high cholesterol level of said animal is prevented or cured; and a method of treating pain of an animal comprising administration to said animal an amount of the above composition effective to prevent or cure the pain of said animal.

摘要:
In order to provide a method for culturing an immunopotentiator-containing organism having the experience of being eaten, inexpensively without requiring usage of a component derived from an animal, Acetobacter, Gluconobacter, Xanthomonas, Zymomonas or Enterobacter which is an edible gram-negative bacterium having an immunopotentiation function is cultured using a culture solution composed mainly of wheat or bean curd refuse. Thereby, Acetobacter can be obtained inexpensively and safely, and also a low molecular weight lipopolysaccharide which is the immunopotentiator can be obtained inexpensively and safely. Furthermore, no impurity derived from animal components is mixed.
摘要:
A pure culture of Pantoea agglomerans having all of the characteristics of FERM BP-3511 is disclosed. The characteristics include morphology, growth, physiological, carbon utilization sources and various enzymatic tests, as well as the required production of a lipopolysaccharide and all of these characteristics have been identified for the culture of P. agglomerans. In addition the lipopolysaccharide has a dominant molecular weight of 6,500.+-.2,500 as determined by SDS-PAGE method, 2.+-.phosphorus, 5.+-.hexosamines and 2.+-.1 2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate per molecular weight of 5,000. The specific enzymatic tests involve such enzymes as lysin decarboxylase, arginine dihydroxylase, phenylalanine deaminase and ornithine decarboxylase. Further, a test for utilization of malonate by the culture is disclosed.
