Abstract: The invention concerns a mixture of enzymes from krill for use in the treatment of a soft tissue including epithelial tissue and mucosa on which soft tissue a biofilm has formed or is expected to form, which soft tissue is a soft tissue of a mammal and which treatment comprises the removal of the biofilm or preventing a formation of the biofilm.

Abstract: The invention relates to an enzyme-containing gel composition capable of controlling enzymatic release and increasing the enzymatic activity level. When the composition includes at least one enzyme derived from Antarctic krill, it is efficient in cleansing wounds and accelerating healing, achieved in significant part by a glycol and/or glycerol gel capable of sustaining enzymatic release and/or enzymatic activity. The krill enzyme-containing gel may also be used to correct skin disorders, sterilize instruments, and facilitate transplants and treating fungal infections, bacterial infections, parasitic infections, hemorrhoids, corneal scarring, dental plaque, acne, cystic fibrosis, blood clots, immune disorders, autoimmune diseases and cancer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multifunctional enzyme that can be derived from crustaceans or fish. The enzyme has at least one of a chymotrypsin, trypsin, elastase, collagenase and exo peptidase activity, and a molecular weight between about 20 kd and about 40 kd as determined by SDS PAGE. Preferably, the multifunctional enzyme has substantial anti cell-cell adhesion activity. Preferably, the multifunctional enzyme has substantial homology with the krill multifunctional enzyme. These enzymes are useful for treating viral infections such as herpes outbreaks, fungal, bacterial or parasitic infections, including the primary and secondary infections of leprosy, colitis, ulcers, hemorrhoids, corneal scarring, dental plaque, acne, cystic fibrosis, blood clots, wounds, immune disorders including autoimmune disease and cancer. Additionally, the invention relates to a method of purifying the multifunctional enzyme, and to a preparation of essentially purified multifunctional enzyme.
