摘要:
Antigenic and/or immunogenic material derived from Mycobacterium vaccae is used to down-regulate Th2 activity of the immune system without up-regulation of Th1 activity. Disorders such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Gulf War Syndrome and Total Allergy Syndrome are treated. The material preferably comprises dead M. vaccae cells in a composition which does not include a non-M. vaccae antigen, immunogen or allergen.
摘要:
A method of preparing a functionally terminated polymer comprising polymerizing a terpene or an oxygen derivative thereof having a double bond or conjugated double bond available for polymerization with an initiator having a grouping which provides, or is a precursor of, the functional termination for the polymer.
摘要:
The present invention provides the use of an M. vaccae preparation for the manufacture of a medicament for use in the treatment of a chronic viral infection, excluding an HIV infection. Chronic viral infections include HPV infection, such as HPV infection associated with cervical dysplasia, herpes virus infection, subacute sclerosing pan-encephalitis and hepatitis virus infection.
摘要:
Urea-isocyanurate copolymers are obtained by the reaction of:(a) an organic polyisocyanate compound,(b) a polyamino compound having at least two amino groups connected by a flexible chain, and(c) optionally an amino chain extender in which the amino groups are substantially less reactive towards the polyisocyanate (a) than are the amino groups of compound (b), the reaction being effected in the presence of(d) a trimerisation catalyst effective to convert a polyisocyanate to a polyisocyanurate in the reaction the ratio of the number of equivalents of isocyanate groups to the total number of moles of amino groups is at least 8.7, and the ratio of the number of equivalents of chain extender (c)--if used--to the number of equivalents of polyamino compound (b) is a maximum of 5:1.The copolymers are especially useful for producing articles by Structural Reaction Injection Moulding.

"Immuno-therapeutic agents of killed cells prepared from Mycobacterium Vaccae that are useful in the treatment of mycobacterial disease, especially tuberculosis or leprosy, in particular as an adjuvant to chemotherapy".
摘要:
Compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different and are selected from hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted methyl or ethyl radicals, and substituted or unsubstituted vinyl radicals, X is a --NH.sub.2 or --NCO group, and n is 0 or 1 with the proviso that n is not 0 when X is --NH.sub.2.
摘要:
Elastomeric compositions contain at least one elastomer and a polymer coated modified carbon product wherein the polymer at least partially coats the modified carbon product. The modified product preferably has at least one organic group attached to the carbon product and the organic group is preferably substituted with an ionic, ionizable, or polar group for preparation in polar or aqueous based media. Methods of making the polymer coated modified carbon product are also described, such as by aqueous-based or solvent free polymerization methods, organic solvent based polymerization methods, or solution coating methods. Polymeric products and masterbatches containing the polymer coated modified carbon products are also described as well as methods to improve properties such as impact properties and tensile properties.

摘要:
Immunoregulatry material from a mycobacterium other an M. tuberculosis, especially killed cells of M. vaccae, is an advantageous adjuvant for administration with antigens (including allergens).
摘要:
The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions for the alleviation of arthritic diseases. These contain as active ingredient mycobacteria or fractions of these, e.g. obtained by fractionation in certain solvents. The compositions can also be used for vaccinations. There is also provided an assay for the diagnosis of arthritic diseases, and a kit for carrying such an assay.
