Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for treating anemia using a long-acting EPO formulation, and more specifically, a method for treating patients with anemia by confirmation of safe, long-acting, and optimal effective dosage and usage in administering a fusion polypeptide which comprises an EPO and an immunoglobulin hybrid Fc to patients with anemia. The method of administering the fusion polypeptide employs an appropriate dosage and usage which not only shows an excellent long-acting property compared to the existing EPO products but also minimizes cardiovascular side effects that may occur due to a rapid increase in hemoglobin level, which is an effect of anemia treatment.

Abstract: A composition containing, as active ingredients, probiotics and a polypeptide with a binding ability to IgE is disclosed. In particular, a synergistic effect of remarkably decreasing food allergy was identified at the time of combined administration of probiotics and a recombinant protein containing an extracellular domain of an alpha subunit of an IgE Fc receptor. Therefore, it is expected that the composition is highly industrially applicable due to being able to exhibit a remarkable therapeutic effect on an IgE-mediated allergic disease as compared with conventional pharmaceutical compositions.
