HYPERBARIC PRESSURIZATION OF PROTEINS AND THERAPEUTICAL USES OF PRESSURIZED PROTEINS THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to hyperbaric pressurization of proteins and therapeutical uses of such pressurized proteins as stimulatory growth and/or antioxidant and/or tissue glutathione inducing agents. There is provided a protein composition having enhanced susceptibility to enzymes for administration to an animal, which comprises between 1% (w/w) to 100% (w/w) protein prepared by the method of the present invention; and an acceptable pharmaceutical carrier between 0% (w/w) to 99% (w/w). The present invention also relates to induce conformational changes in proteins to reduce their allergenic properties by exposing proteins to a hyperbaric treatment. There is provided a protein composition having reduced allergenic effects for administration to an animal, which comprises between 1% (w/w) to 100% (w/w) protein prepared by the method of the present invention; and an acceptable pharmaceutical carrier between 0% (w/w) to 99% (w/w).
