The present invention relates to complexes consisting of immunoglobulins and
polysaccharides for oral and transmucosal use.
The polysaccharides comprised in the complexes according to the invention form
an envelope which protects and carries immunoglobulins allowing their systemic
absorption through the gastric and mucosal district. Immunoglobulins have a different
specificity depending on the required therapeutic effect. They are used in passive
immunoprophylaxis for the prevention or therapy of infections caused by pathogenic
agents such as virus, bacteria, parasites, or they are used in the modulation of
endogenous bio-chemical balances, or in the detoxification from drugs of abuse,
medicines, toxins.
