  • Patent number: 5863561
    Abstract: An immune suppressive product prepared by injecting an allergen or a mixture of allergens into the body of milk-producing species. Said product being the milk or a polypeptide subfraction of milk obtained from the allergen treated host. The immune suppressive product(s) is milk and or the polypeptide fractions contained therein, which is ostensively free of the intact allergen or allergens used for the treatment of the host. The immune suppressive factor(s) being a subfraction of the allergen used for the treatment. A method of preparing immune suppressive polypeptides from intact allergens, which involves injection of the specific intact allergens into a milk-producing species, collecting the immune suppressive polypeptide fractions of the intact allergens from the milk of the treated host. The immune suppressive milk containing said polypeptide fractions, and/or the polypeptide fractions obtained from said milk, are nonreactive in animals and humans as allergens.

  • Patent number: 5198214
    Abstract: A process for the production of a polyvalent vaccine effective in the prevention and treatment of mastitis in bovine animals is disclosed, which comprises periodically culturing the milk of animals exhibiting preclinical mastitis to cultivate any pathogens present therein, killing those pathogens and incorporating each strain of cultivated, killed pathogen in a pharmacological carrier together with all other strains previously identified. The process is repeated to ensure all newly appearing pathogenic strains are vaccinated against. The vaccine so produced has been demonstrated to be effective in reversal of hard udder syndrome.
