摘要:
A diagnostic test is described for the assay of human and animal immune system response, in vitro. The test measures production in a peripheral blood lymphocyte population of a material that is an index of mitogen-induced immune response. Adaptations of the test are provided for the titration of amplifier dosage, and for a determination whether amplifier treatment is warranted for immunodeficient patients such as those with AIDS or ARC.
摘要:
Compositions for delaying the progression from AIDS to ARC, and for alleviating symptoms of AIDS and ARC are disclosed together with clinical results of use of such compositions in clinical trials with of actual human patients suffering from these diseases. The compositions are based on a Tyr-Gly amino acid residue sequence. Typical dosage amounts are in the range of femtomoles/kg of body weight.
摘要:
A high pressure liquid chromatography process is described for the extraction of materials that nonspecifically amplify the immune response to antigens to which the subject was previously or is concomitantly exposed. The materials are also described, as are methods and compositions for the use thereof in connection with hypoimmune conditions.
摘要:
Therapeutic methods for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, lupis, Type I diabetes, and other autoimmune disorders are described wherein amplifiers of the immune system response are administered to the subject. Instead of further increasing the hyperactive immune response, however, administering the amplifiers has the effect of reducing the excessive immune responsiveness. Compositions for such administration are also described.
摘要:
A group of substances derived from human leukocytes (white blood cells) are described that amplify, suppress, or otherwise modulate the response of the immune system to reintroduction of antigens. The described materials are generically effective as to antigens rather than specific as to particular antigens, but the described modulators of immune response are effective only in respect of antigens with which the recipient has previously been challenged. The described materials are extracted from leukocyte dialysates by processes involving high pressure liquid chromatography with specified resin/solvent systems. Uses and pharmaceutical compositions for use of the materials are also described.
摘要:
Methods of extracting an immunosuppressor from leukocyte dialysates are disclosed, together with methods for using the immunosuppressor and compositions containing the immunosuppressor.
摘要:
A method is described for treating mammalian solid tumors by administering leukocyte-derived amplifiers of the immune system to tumor-bearing subjects. The amplifiers include Beta-1.0, Beta-1.1, Beta-1,12, TG, and TGG.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for the treatment of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS-Related Complex (ARC) by administering injections of Tyr-Gly-Gly and derivatives thereof.
摘要:
Purified human leukocyte dialysates are described for treatment of AIDS, ARC, and other immunodeficient conditions. The dialysates are purified by HPLC processes, and are made available in a form that is free of endotoxin and pyrogen. Methods are described for slowing the progression from ARC to AIDS and for alleviating symptoms of AIDS and ARC, by administration of the dialysates. Methods for treating candidiasis and for increasing immune system response to recall antigen, by administration of the dialysates, are also described.
摘要:
Methods and compositions are described for increasing and decreasing immunoglobulin production by administering to a human or other mammalian subject an appropriate dosage of amplifier. Administration of amplifier to subjects having excessive production of immunoglobulin, namely AIDS and ARC patients, is shown as decreasing such excessive immunoglobulin production in such patients.
