FREMGANGSMAADE TIL FREMSTILLING AF IMMUNOGLOBULIN-IGG-HOLDIG MAELK ELLER HERUDFRA AFLEDT PRODUKT TIL BEHANDLING AF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

摘要

There is disclosed an immune gammaglobulin (IgG) preparation for the treatment and prevention of rheumatoid arthritis. The treatment involves passive immunization against a mixed spectrum of infectious bacteria which reside in the human gastrointestinal tract. The passive immunization may be accomplished by oral ingestion of IgG immunoglobulin obtained from the milk of cows that have been immunized against a specific spectrum of bacterial types. A unique combination of bacterial species is formulated into a vaccine which may then be used to immunize dairy cattle. Preferably, the IgG preparation is obtained from the milk of the immunized cows.
