摘要:
Disclosed are vaccines and vaccine adjuvants useful in the treatment and/or prevention of infection and diseases associated with infectious pathogens, such as tetanus, as well as diseases associated with biological toxins. Also provided are methods of preparing an adjuvant and the vaccine containing the adjuvant. Methods are also provided for vaccinating/immunizing an animal against infection and diseases associated with infectious pathogens, such as tetanus, and other diseases associated with biological toxins. Adjuvant materials are presented that are prepared from an extracellular matrix material. The adjuvant may also be described as a heterologous acellular collagenous tissue preparation. The adjuvants are demonstrated to enhance the immunogencity of an infectious pathogen antigen or biological toxin antigen of interest, as well as to enhance the survival of an immunized animal.

摘要:
Described are medical products including an analgesic such as lidocaine, bupivicaine, or a mixture thereof. Such medical products can find use in pain relief, particularly after surgery, and can be applied to tissue or can be implanted within a patient. Also described are medical products including an extracellular matrix material, one or more analgesic agents, and a carrier effective to extend the release of the agent(s). Related methods of manufacture and use are also described.
摘要:
Described are medical products including an adhesive containing a polypeptide component such as gelatin and a tackiness-providing polyhydroxy compound, such as at least one compound selected from the group consisting of glycerin and fructose. Such medical products can find use as a bolster material for use in conjunction with a surgical fastening device such as a stapler. Other medical applications utilizing a medical product of the invention include tissue repair and pharmaceutical delivery to a desired location. Related methods of manufacture and use are also described.
