Patent number: 9439448Abstract: A nutritional composition for improving the immunological function of a subject, including a lipid or fat; a protein source; about 5 to about 100 mg/100 kcal of a source of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids which comprises docosahexanoic acid; and about 0.1 to about 1 mg/100 kcal of a prebiotic composition, wherein the prebiotic composition comprises at least 20% of an oligosaccharide which has a fermentation rate which is demonstrably slower than that of galacto-oligosaccharide.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Mead Johnson Nutrition CompanyInventors: Francisco J. Rosales, Eric van Tol, Gyan P. Rai, Kristin Morris, Dattatreya Banavera, Dirk Hondmann, Zeina E. Jouni, Robert J. McMahon, Deborah A. Schade, Donald Carey Walker

Patent number: 8367354Abstract: A novel method for determining the levels of TGF-?1 or TGF-?2 in a sample of milk, raw protein source, or nutritional composition is provided. The method involves, in some cases, reconstituting the sample; in some cases, centrifuging the sample; activating the sample using particular ratios of sample:acid:base; diluting the sample using particular ratios of sample:buffer agent; and determining the concentration of TGF-?1 in the sample using an ELISA assay.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2009Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Mead Johnson Nutrition CompanyInventors: Gyan P. Rai, Francisco J. Rosales, Zeina E. Jouni, Rosaline Waworuntu

Patent number: 8350006Abstract: A novel method for determining the bioactivity of TGF-? in a sample of milk, raw protein source, or nutritional composition is provided. The method includes particular reconstitution steps, centrifugation steps, incubation steps, and activation steps. The bioactivity of the TGF-? in the sample may be measured in a HT-2 cell bioassay or a cellomics bioassay.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2009Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Mead Johnson Nutrition CompanyInventors: Gyan P. Rai, Francisco J. Rosales, Zeina E. Jouni, Rosaline Waworuntu
