  • Patent number: 6423320
    Abstract: A polysaccharide and fragments thereof derived from Klebsiella oxytoca or Klebsiella pneumonia inhibit the IgE antibody production and response and, therefore, are useful in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of type I allergy-related diseases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 19, 1998
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2002
    Assignee: Tayca Corporation
    Inventors: Hitoshi Oomori, Yoichi Ooiso, Ryosuke Sugihara
  • Publication number: 20020041885
    Abstract: A polysaccharide and fragments thereof derived from Klebsiella oxytoca or Klebsiella pneumonia inhibits the IgE antibody production and response in vivo and therefore, they are useful in the prophylaxis and treatment type I allergy-related disease
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 19, 1998

  • Patent number: 5989874
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a humectant, antistatic agent, film-forming agent or dispersant comprising an effective amount of a polysaccharide produced by two strains of Kliebsiella composed of D-glucuronic acid, L-rhamnose, D-galactose and D-glucose in a molar ratio of D-glucuronic acid:L-rhamnose:D-galactose:D-glucose=0.8-1.2:2.4-3.6:0.8-1.2:0.8-1.2.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 22, 1996
    Date of Patent: November 23, 1999
    Assignee: Tayca Corporation
    Inventors: Osamu Nakanishi, Yoichi Ooiso, Takeshi Okumiya, Ryosuke Sugihara, Kaoru Kawashima
  • Patent number: 5760213
    Abstract: An immunoactivating agent comprising a polysaccharide consisting essentially of glucuronic acid, rhamnose, galactose and glucose in a molar ratio of glucuronic acid:rhannose:galactose:glucose=0 to 1.2:2.4 to 3.6:0.8 to 1.2:0.8 to 2.4. This immunoactivating agent has an excellent immunoactivating activity, and the polysaccharide is a microbially produced acidic heteropolysaccharide having higher productivity than the basidiomycete-derived polysaccharides such as krestin and lentinan.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5739014
    Abstract: A polysaccharide having a molecular weight of about 5.times.10.sup.3 to 10.times.10.sup.6 as measured by gel permeation chromatography and composed of 5 saccharides, viz. D-glucose, D-galactose, D-glucuronic acid, D-ribose and D-riburonic acid, in a molar ratio of D-glucose:D-galactose:D-glucuronic acid:D-ribose:D-riburonic acid=10:1.8-2.9:1.8-2.6:0.5-1.7:0.5-1.7, with the content of o-acetyl groups in the polysaccharide being 0-10% by weight.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5527904
    Abstract: Disclosed are novel polysaccharides having the following physicochemical properties: (1) a molecular weight determined by gel filtration chromatography is about 5.times.10.sup.3 to 10.times.10.sup.6, (2) the constituent glycoses are D-galacturonic acid, L-rhamnose and D-glucose, (3) the constituent glycoses are joined substantially by 1,3-linkages, and (4) a configuration of D-galacturonic acid is .alpha., that of L-rhamnose is .beta. and that of D-glucose is .alpha.. A process for producing polysaccharides composed of D-galacturonic acid, L-rhamnose and D-glucose, use of the polysaccharides and a strain for producing the polysaccharides are also disclosed.
