Abstract: The present invention relates to use of certain antiviral fragrances for reduction of viruses, in particular vira causing common cold. In one embodiment, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising an antiviral fragrance, preferably menthol. Said compositions preferably also comprise one or more flavonoids. The invention also relates to treatment of common cold using said compositions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating conditions and/or symptoms related to common cold of the upper and/or lower respiratory tract and/or eyes. In particular the invention relates to the methods of treating conditions and/or symptoms related to common cold comprising administration of a flavonoid or administration of a flavonoid in combination with a metal. The invention furthermore describes compositions comprising a metal and a flavonoid useful for the treatment of conditions and/or symptoms relates to common cold.

Abstract: Disclosed is purified human leukocyte interferon, including human leukocyte interferon obtained from Namalva cells (“Namalva interferon”) which, for the first time, is shown to contain a mixture of six proteins having the molecular weights of 18,400±200 daltons, 20,000±200 daltons, 20,300-20,400±200 daltons, 19,500±200, 21,300±200 daltons, and 23,400±200 daltons, as determined by SDS PAGE. Crude human leukocyte or Namalva interferon was purified using a combination of gel filtration and tandem affinity chromatography which combines ligand affinity chromatography and antibody affinity chromatography. Also disclosed art immunogenic compositions containing the purified interferon, and their use to prepare monospecific antibodies such as monoclonal antibodies which bind at least one species of the interferons.

Abstract: Disclosed is purified human leukocyte interferon, including human leukocyte interferon obtained from Namalva cells ("Namalva interferon") which, for the first time, is shown to contain a mixture of six proteins having the molecular weights of 18,400.+-.200 daltons, 20,000.+-.200 daltons, 20,300-20,400.+-.200 daltons, 19,500.+-.200, 21,300.+-.200 daltons, and 23,400.+-.200 daltons, as determined by SDS PAGE. Crude human leukocyte or Namalva interferon was purified using a combination of gel filtration and tandem affinity chromatography which combines ligand affinity chromatography and antibody affinity chromatography. Also disclosed are immunogenic compositions containing the purified interferon, and their use to prepare monospecific antibodies such as monoclonal antibodies which bind at least one species of the interferons. The antibodies may be used in affinity chromatography techniques to obtain highly purified human leukocyte interferons obtained from various human cells including Namalva cells.
