Abstract: Dimers of a peptide from the T-cell receptor (Cys Lys Pro Ile Ser Gly His Asn Ser Leu Phe Trp Tyr Arg Gln Thr) (SEQ ID NO:1) are disclosed for preventing the progression to AIDS in an animal model. Methods for delaying the progression to AIDS and restoring normal immunological responses in an animal model following infection are shown and comprise administering through various systemic routes dimeric T-cell receptor peptide V? CDR1 to restore normal levels of Th1 cytokines interleukin 2 and interferon-?, which are suppressed following infection, and those of Th2 derived cytokines interleukin 5, interleukin 6, interleukin 10, and immunoglobulin G, which are stimulated following infection.

Abstract: An extract of passion fruit is prepared. The extract has the effect of lowering blood pressure and serum nitric oxide levels in mammals. The extract also provides a hepatoprotective effect, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in mammals. A novel compound was identified in the extract and given the name edulilic acid.

Abstract: An extract of the skin or peel of passion fruit is prepared. The extract has the effect of ameliorating the symptoms of inflammation disorders, including asthma and osteoarthritis, in mammals, including humans, when administered in an effective amount.
