Antibodies from colostrum in oral immunotherapy.
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.
