  • Publication number: 20100029551
    Abstract: Provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising an anti-inflammatory macrolide compound suitable for aerosolized administration to the lungs by inhalation, and methods of treating inflammatory lung conditions, particularly those characterized by chronic inflammation, by administering an aerosolized anti-inflammatory macrolide compound to the lungs by inhalation. Also provided are unit dose formulations of an anti-inflammatory macrolide for aerosolized administration to the lungs by inhalation. Advantageously, the described methods and compositions allow for the targeted, localized delivery of anti-inflammatory macrolide compounds throughout the lungs without significant systemic absorption or deposition.

  • Patent number: 5837541
    Abstract: Cell lines have been produced that secrete human monoclonal antibodies capable of binding to molecules of different bacterial species. These antibodies have been found to be protective against lethal challenges of various bacterial genera. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these antibodies, which can be in combination with other monoclonal antibodies, blood plasma fractions and antimicrobial agents, and the prophylactic and therapeutic use of such compositions in the management of infections are included. Prior to filing of this patent application the continuous transformed human cell lines 9B10, 4F10, 4B9, 7D7, and 9C3, described herein, were deposited in the American Type Culture Collection and given the designations CRL 9006, CRL 9007, CRL 9008, CRL 9009, and CRL 9239, respectively.

  • Patent number: 4970070
    Abstract: Immortalized cell lines have been produced that secrete human monoclonal antibodies capable of binding to bacterial species which are a major cause of neonatal sepsis and meningitis. These antibodies have been found to be protective against lethal challenges of these bacteria, which include group B streptococcus, E. coli, K1, and Neisseria meningitidis group B. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these antibodies, which can be in combination with other monoclonal anitbodies, blood plasma fractions and antimicrobial agents, and the prophylactic and therapeutic use of such compositions in the management of infections, are included.
