The present invention relates to Roseburia flagellin, and/or a polynucleotide sequence encoding said Roseburia flagellin, and/or a vector comprising said polynucleotide sequence, and/or a host cell, including bacteria, comprising said vector, and/or a host cell, including bacteria, comprising said polynucleotide sequence, for use in modulating the inflammation of a tissue or an organ in a subject.

A method for repairing animal tissue damage due to an inflammatory reaction in an animal has the steps of providing umbilical cord blood cells (UCBCs) in a pharmaceutically acceptable form; and administering a sufficient dose of UCBC at an optimal time thereby reducing the injury from the inflammatory reaction. Also provided are method of treating cerebrovascular accident, acute central nervous inflammation, multiple sclerosis, myocardial ischemia, and neonatal bronchopulmonary distress. For determining the optimal time of UCBCs administration, there is provided a kit containing antibodies for IL-8 and MCP-1.

The invention provides immunoregulatory polynucleotides and methods for immunoregulation of individuals using the immunoregulatory polynucleotides.

Biologically active peptides that are derived from or are similar to sequences of the alphaS1-, alphaS2-, beta- or kapa-casein fractions of milk casein. These peptides are capable of immune modulation and other therapeutic activities, including but not limited to stimulating and enhancing immune response, protecting against viral infection, normalizing serum cholesterol levels, and stimulating hematopoiesis. The casein-derived peptides are non-toxic and can be used to treat and prevent immune pathologies, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, hematological disorders and viral-related diseases.

The present invention deals with the production of food products with a health promoting effect, namely immune modulation in general, and lowering and/or stabilizing blood sugar levels. The food products concerned comprise polysaccharides from edible or medicinal mushrooms. These are produced through fermentation instead of conventional cultivation of mushrooms. Fermentation process is preferably done in submerged cultures, especially fed-batch or step-up cultures.

The invention relates to the therapeutic use of oligonucleotides as immune modulatory agents in immunotherapy applications. More particularly, the invention provides immune modulatory oligonucleotide compositions for use in methods for generating an immune response or for treating a patient in need of immune modulation. The immune modulatory oligonucleotides of the invention preferably comprise novel pyrimidines and purines.

The invention aims to provide a cultivation method for nano-selenium containing Tie Guanying organic tea plant and the nano-selenium containing Tie Guanying organic tea plant. One hundred grams of organic tea leaves obtained through the cultivation method contains 40 to 65 micrograms of nano-selenium with a granular diameter of 50 to 200 nanometers, 4.36 to 5.45 grams of ether extracts and the balance dietary fibers, carbohydrates, proteins, microelements such asmanganese, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, copper, sodium, calcium and potassium, and vitamins including A, A1, B1, B2, B5, E and renieratene. The organic tea leaves meet standards of Green Organic Tea Certification and requirements and standards of organic tea production, processing and trade. Selenium has functions of free radical removal, prevention of cancers, beauty treatment and aging resistance, weight reduction, radiation resistance, adjustment of immunity, treatment of Keshan disease, etc., and nutritional anticancer agent accepted by medical community. The organic tea leaves, after long term drinking, have better prevention and cure effect on hepatitis, arthritis, cataract, angiocardiopathy and hemorrhagic fever and other diseases and is benefit to health and longevity of the middle-aged and old.
