  • Publication number: 20040087529
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new delivery system and method for producing same. The delivery system is a biphasic system of delivering charged macromolecules and comprises of a negatively charged hydrophobic organic phase and a positively charged inorganic phase. The organic phase and the inorganic phase entrapping added macromolecules. The macromolecules are entrapped by electrostatic bonds between the organic phase, the inorganic phase and the macromolecules. The method for producing the delivery system comprises the steps of contacting together and mixing a negatively charged organic phase, a charged macro-molecule and a positively charged inorganic phase.

  • Patent number: 5064645
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a serum for passive immunization of fish against furunculosis caused by Aeromonas salmonicida, which comprises antibodies against A. salmonicida isolated from fish naturally infected with furunculosis in an intraperitoneal injectable carrier. There is also provided a method for preparing a serum for passive immunization of fish against furunculosis caused by Aeromonas salmonicida, comprising the steps of: a) administering to a mammal selected from the group consisting of bovine, ovine, caprine and equine a sufficient amount of A. salmonicida to produce antibodies; b) collecting from the mammal the serum containing the antibodies against A.
