摘要:
The present invention refers to a formulation for a slimming treatment comprising in certain quantities: hypothalamus powder, hypophysis powder, thyroid powder, suprarenal cortex powder and pancreas powder, and other polyglandular opotherapic extracts such as extract of ovary or testicle; said slimming treatment being evaluated and optimised thanks to an exponential mathematical model which models the accumulated weight loss of a patient by means of a differentiation and separation of the slimming effect due to the set of factors depending on the applied slimming treatment and, on the other hand, of the slimming effect due to the set of factors depending on the typology of the patient trying to slim.

Peptides derived from shark immunoglobulin preparations are used to prepare compositions, including pharmaceutical compositions, for inhibiting retrovirus replication in susceptible cells. The peptide preparations are useful for inhibiting diseases associated with retroviral infection, such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The peptides also inhibit growth of tumor cells, especially sarcomas and leukemias.

Methods for inducing antigen-specific T cell tolerance are disclosed. The methods involve contacting a T cell with: 1) a cell which presents antigen to the T cell, wherein a ligand on the cell interacts with a receptor on the surface of the T cell which mediates contact-dependent helper effector function; and 2) an antagonist of the receptor on the surface of the T cell which inhibits interaction of the ligand on the antigen presenting cell with the receptor on the T cell. In a preferred embodiment, the cell which presents antigen to the T cell is a B cell and the receptor on the surface of the T cell which mediates contact-dependent helper effector function is gp39. Preferably, the antagonist is an anti-gp39 antibody or a soluble gp39 ligand (e.g., soluble CD40). The methods of the invention can be used to induce T cell tolerance to a soluble antigen or to an allogeneic cell. The methods of the invention can also be used to induce tolerance in cases of bone marrow transplantation and other organ transplants and to inhibit graft-versus-host disease.

A pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia comprising between about 0.002 g and about 0.05 g of polysaccharide from a gram negative bacteria, between about 0.1 mg and about 2 mg water soluble thymus extract, between about 0.01 mg and about 1 mg water soluble prostate extract, and between about 0.02 mg and about 2 mg of total carbohydrates, per mL of solution in a physiologically acceptable solvent A method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprising isolating a polysaccharide from a culture of gram negative bacteria in a liquid medium, the culture raised under rigorous conditions of bacteriological asepsis and the bacteria culture typified by biochemical tests, combining between about 0.002 g to about 0.05 g of the polysaccharide with between 0.1 mg and about 2 mg water soluble thymus extract, between about 0.01 mg and about 1 mg of water soluble prostate extract, and between about 0.02 mg and 2 mg of total carbohydrates, in a physiologically acceptable solvent to obtain about 1 mL of solution.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of inducing systemic tolerance to an antigen in an individual in need of such treatment, comprising the step of: administering antigen presenting cells to said individual, wherein said cells express Fas ligand and said antigen.

The inventors have discovered that hematologic disorders, e.g., both neoplastic (hematologic cancers) and non-neoplastic conditions, can be treated by the induction of mixed chimerism using myeloreductive, but not myeloablative, conditioning. Methods of the invention reduce GVHD, especially GVHD associated with mismatched allogeneic or xenogeneic donor tissue, yet provide, for example, significant graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect and the like.
