摘要:
A multivalent fungal vaccine comprising one or more heat-inactivated fungal antigens, wherein at least one fungal antigen is effective in producing an immune response in a host when said vaccine is administered orally at a dose that is sufficient for preventing or treating the fungal disease in said host. Also described are methods for making and using an orally available anti-fungal vaccine.
摘要:
Described is a method for inhibiting the growth and/or replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in human patients. The invention relates to the unexpected activity of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and in particular, to the beta chain of hCG (beta hCG) in controlling a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and other virus-related immunodeficiency disorders. The invention comprises administering an anti-HIV effective amount of beta hCG to an asymptomatic individual with an HIV infection, including an individual presenting the symptoms of AIDS.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of gramicidin as an active ingredient of a spermicide with virucidal activity against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)--a causative agent of a sexually transmitted disease--AIDS.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of using antibiotic gramicidin for the therapy and prevention of herpes virus infections. Gramicidin is also useful in suppressing sperm motility without affecting its viability and may thus be used as an active ingredient of topical contraceptive formulations either alone or in combination with chelating agents such as EDTA or salts thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of acetaminophen (Tylenol) and derivatives thereof which can be used to inhibit the growth, replication and elaboration of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The present invention comprises in vitro as well as in vivo methods for the prevention and/or treatment of HIV infections and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), at doses of acetaminophen or its derivatives which are effective to inhibit the replication, growth and/or elaboration of HIV.
摘要:
The invention relates to histamine H2-receptor antagonists such as cimetidine and related compounds such as ranitidine and famotidine that can be used for controlling human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The preferred agent is cimetidine. The invention comprises a method in vitro as well as in vivo for controlling, i.e., prevention and/or treatment, of HIV infection, associated with the development of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), at pharmacological doses of these drugs commonly used for the treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers. The method is based on inhibiting HIV in vitro or on the administration to a host that has been exposed to HIV prior to diagnosis or has been diagnosed as having an HIV infection, of an amount of a H2 antagonist which is sufficient to exert an anti-HIV effect for a sufficient period of time.
摘要:
The present invention relates to select peptides of the carboxy terminal and aminoterminal portion of the beta unit of hCG and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof that can be used for controlling retroviral, e.g., human immunodeficiency virus (BV infections. The invention comprises a method in vitro as well as in vivo for prevention and/or treatment of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) at pharmacological doses of beta hCG-derived peptides and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof which are sufficient to exert an anti-HIV effect for a sufficient period of time.
