<p>The invention concerns a process for preparing a pharmaceutical composition of thymus factors which displays immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory properties and is stable during storage. The process comprises the extraction of a homogenized thymus tissue and subsequent repeated ultrafiltration via a filter membrane having an exclusion volume of 30 kD. The resultant first ultrafiltrate is then subjected to a second ultrafiltration process on a membrane having an exclusion volume of 3 kD, the retentate being used. A composition prepared in this way, in contrast to the first ultrafiltrate obtained on leukocyte cultures stimulated by phytohaemagglutinin, displays a great increase in the production of anti-inflammatory IL-10 and a reduction in the formation of inflammation-promoting IL-2 and IFN-gamma.</p> |
