  • Patent number: 10166253
    Abstract: The present invention provides a positively charged co-polymer for use as an antimicrobial agent, wherein said positively charged co-polymer is composed of amino acids and/or derivatives thereof and wherein at least 75 molar percent of said amino acids are selected from the group consisting of alanine, lysine, glutamate, arginine and tyrosine and/or derivatives thereof. The present invention also provides methods for treating, preventing or ameliorating a microbial infection comprising administration of positively charged random co-polymers as well as a pharmaceutical composition comprising said co-polymer. The invention further provides a kit of parts comprising the positively charged random co-polymer.

  • Patent number: 6846649
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of producing and/or isolating MBL compositions. In particular the invention relates to methods of producing and/or isolating novel recombinant human MBL preparations with high similarity to natural human MBL. The MBL preparations may be used in compositions, medicaments and in methods for treatment of conditions such as those related to immunosuppressive conditions and/or to conditions of MBL deficiencies including latent conditions. Conditions of deficiencies of Mannan-Binding Lectin (MBL) are associated with increased susceptibility to infections.
