Abstract: A composition for eliciting a T-cell mediated immune response in a subject includes transfer factor from at least two different types of source animals. For example, the composition may include mammalian transfer factor and nonmammalian transfer factor. An example of the composition includes a combination of a colostrum-derived product, which includes the mammalian transfer factor, and an egg-derived product, which includes the nonmammalian transfer factor. Additionally, the egg-derived product may be substantially free of fat. Methods for forming the composition and eliciting T-cell mediated immune responses in subjects that have been treated with the composition are also disclosed.

Abstract: A drink includes an edible liquid or semisolid preparation and transfer factor. The drink may also include lactoferrin and one or more preservatives. An edible preparation includes a fruit component and transfer factor. The fruit component may include at least one oligoproanthocyanidin-containing fruit. The edible preparation may also include lactoferrin. One or more preservatives may also be included in the edible preparation. The drink or the edible preparation may be sterilized or pasteurized.

Abstract: A composition for use in cardiovascular support includes transfer factor. The transfer factor may be nonmammalian transfer factor, such as that derived from eggs, or mammalian transfer factor, such as that derived from colostrum. The composition may also include one or more of the following: an LDL receptor-binding element; a blood flow-enhancing element; a cholesterol reducing element; a fat oxidation prevention element, and an antioxidant. Treatment methods include enlisting the immune system of a subject receiving therapy to attack pathogens that cause inflammation of blood vessels or to otherwise reduce inflammation of blood vessels.

Abstract: A non-mammalian transfer factor, compositions including the non-mammalian transfer factor, and methods for generating and preparing the non-mammalian transfer factor. The non-mammalian transfer factor may have specificity for one or more antigens. A method of using the non-mammalian transfer factor includes administering either antigen-specific non-mammalian transfer factor or antigen non-specific non-mammalian transfer factor to mammals to treat or prevent pathogenic infections in the mammals.

Abstract: A process for irreversible regio- and stereoselective enzyme catalyzed acylation of alcohols using enol esters as acylating reagents is disclosed. The present invention permits the selective modification of hydroxyl group(s) of chiral and meso alcohols, including sugars, organometallics, and glycosides. The enol freed upon transesterification rapidly tautomerizes to the corresponding volatile aldehyde or ketone thereby preventing the reverse reaction from occurring.

Abstract: A process for synthesizing nucleosides is disclosed. The process includes the reaction of an alkylated nucleoside (such as 7-methylguanosine or 7-methylinosine) with a heterocyclic base (such as adenine, 3-deazaadenine or 1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide) in the presence of a nucleoside-forming enzyme to form a nucleoside that includes a glycosyl component, donate by the alkylated nucleoside, bonded to the heterocyclic base.

Abstract: 7,8-Disubstituted guanosine nucleoside derivatives are found to be potent immune response enhancing agents in human and animal cells. 7-Substituents are hydrocarbyl radicals having a length greater than ethyl and less than about decyl. 8-Substituents are .dbd.O, .dbd.S, .dbd.Se and .dbd.NCN. Compositions and methods of use are also disclosed.
