Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel family of monosaccharide derivatives and disaccharide derivatives and to a method of preparation thereof. A mono- and disaccharide derivatives according to the invention comprises at least one fatty acid ester and may further comprise one or more anionic groups and are useful for, inter alia, medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food applications.

Abstract: The present invention includes a formulation comprising a physiological salt solution, or an oil-in-water emulsion, or a water immiscible solid phase, and an adjuvant comprising one or more disaccharide derivatives derived from cellobiose, gentiobiose, lactose, lactulose, maltose, melibiose, sucrose or turanose, wherein at least four of the free hydroxyl groups of the disaccharide molecule have been modified such that the disaccharide derivative has: (i) at least 3, but not more than N-1, fatty acid ester groups, wherein each of the fatty acid ester groups is represented by a general formula of —O—C(?O)—(CH2)xCH3 wherein x is between 6 and 14, and (ii) at least one, but no more than N-1 anionic groups, wherein N is the number of hydroxyl groups of the disaccharide from which the derivative is derived and wherein the combined number of fatty acid esters and anionic groups does not exceed N.

Abstract: Synthetic polypeptides having at least one antigenic site of a prior protein, methods for their use and manufacture, antibodies raised against such polypeptides and diagnostic kits containing these polypeptides or antibodies.

Abstract: An angiotensin derivative comprising at least one angiotensin peptide moiety coupled to a peptide carrier-binding moiety which can be used for therapy and prophylaxis of conditions associated with the renin activated angiotensin system.
