title: Antibodies from colostrum in oral immunotherapy.
abstract: An immunoglobulin preparation for oral use was prepared from pooled bovine colostrum from more than 100 animals. The preparation has high antibacterial antibody titres, and a high capacity for the neutralization of bacterial toxins. It is well tolerated and highly effective in the treatment of severe diarrhoea, e.g. in AIDS patients. The preparation is spray-dried and stable at 2-8 degrees C.
