Abstract:
A method for purifying human or other alpha-l proteinase inhibitor (&agr;1-PI) from a solution (which may be derived from the milk of a transgenic animal expressing the &agr;1-PI) which comprises contacting the solution with a cation exchange substrate under conditions sufficient to bind non-tg-&agr;1-PI contaminants to the substrate while not substantially binding tg &agr;1-PI to the substrate. Using the preferred embodiment, the purified tg &agr;1-PI contains as little as 40 pg non-&agr;1-PI-whey protein per mg total protein.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for delivery of drugs intended to reside in the nose, compositions for nasal administration of drugs, e.g., antiviral agents, and particularly antiviral agents comprising the human major rhinovirus receptor, also known as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1); to methods of making said nasal drug compositions, and to an improved process for the removal of residual solvent from pharmaceutical matrices.
