Abstract: The present application relates to methods for the treatment of eczema and uses of a dairy-derived composition. The treatment involves oral administration of 800 mg/day of a composition comprising TGF-?1, TGF-?2, IGF-1 and 60% (w/w) beta-lactoglobulin derived from whey.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition and methods or uses thereof in the prophylaxis and treatment of psoriasis and other auto-immune inflammatory disorders. The composition may be comprised of TGF-?1, TGF-?2, and dairy derived proteins comprising a large proportion of ?-lactoglobulin.

Abstract: The invention relates to the general field of protein fractionation, and more particularly to the selective fractionation of growth factor from dairy products, such as milk, whey and colostrum. There is provided methods for the selective fractionation of TGF-?, lactoferrin and bovine serum albumin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a composition used in the prophylaxis and treatment of psoriasis and other auto-immune inflammatory disorders. The composition may be comprised of TGF-?1, TGF-?2, and dairy derived proteins comprising a large proportion of -lactoglobulin.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for the prevention or treatment of virus infections comprising administering, to a human or animal individual susceptible to or suffering from a virus infection, an effective amount of one or more casein phosphopeptides (CPP). Also provided is a composition containing such casein peptides and further agents such as vitamin C and/or nutritional components for use in treating or preventing virus infections.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cartilage extracts and to a method of producing the same. Shark cartilage extracts having anti-angiogenic, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory and anti-collagenolytic activities have been obtained by an improved process. The process comprises the steps of obtaining a crude cartilage extract in an aqueous solution, this crude extract being fractionated to recover molecules of a molecular weight less than about 500 kDa. Some of the biologically active components of the extract are prepared by further fractionation. The cartilage extract can be used for treating diseases or conditions having etiological components selected from the group consisting of tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, inflammation, metalloprotease activity and collagenolysis. Several cosmetic applications based on the capacity of the liquid extract to improve skin conditions are also disclosed. A simple and efficient process for the preparation of cartilage extracts is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cartilage extracts and to a method of producing the same. Shark cartilage extracts having anti-angiogenic, anti-tumoral, anti-inflammatory and anti-collagenolytic activities have been obtained by an improved process. The process comprises the steps of obtaining a homogenate of cartilage in an aqueous solution, this homogenate being separated in a solid fraction (SOLID EXTRACT) and a liquid fraction which was further fractionated to obtain a LIQUID EXTRACT having molecules of a molecular weight comprised between 0 to 500 kDa. The composition of the liquid extract has then been investigated by different ways. Further fractionation of this extract led to the preliminary characterization of some of its active components.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cartilage extracts and to a method of producing the same. Shark cartilage extracts having anti-angiogenic, direct anti-tumor proliferating, anti-inflammatory and anti-collagenolytic activities have been obtained by an improved process. The process comprises the steps of obtaining a homogenate of cartilage in an aqueous solution, this homogenate being centrifuged and further fractionated to obtain a total extract having molecules of a molecular weight comprised between 0 to 500 KDa. The composition of the liquid extract has then been investigated by different ways. Further fractionation of this extract led to the preliminary characterization of some of its active components. Due to the multiplicity of biological activities of the total liquid extract, it can be used for treating numerous diseases or conditions such as those having components selected from the group consisting of tumor proliferation, angiogenesis, inflammation and collagenolysis.
