摘要

A B S T R A C TUSE OF ANTIGENIC SUBSTANCES FOR THE PROPHYLAXIS OFTREATMENT OF DISORDERS OR DISEASES WITH THEGASTROINTESTINAL TRACT Of ANIMALS AND HUMANSThe invention refers to the use of antigenic substancesfor the prohylaxis or therapy of disorders and diseaseswith the gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans.Disorders and diseases with the gastrointestinal tract ofanimals and humans, for instance, diarrhea, peptic ulcersdiseases or cancer represent a worldwide serious,economically significant problem. It could be shown thatthe immunological mechanisms have a protective effect inthe gastrointestinal tract of animals and humans. Antigensbeing present in the food induce the above-mentionedprotective mechanisms when the organism has already beenimmunized with these antigens.A preferred use of antigenic substances is for theprophylaxis and therapy of peptic ulcer diseases inhumans. Furthermore, these antigenic substances areespecially suitable for the breeding of young cattle whenthe food is changed within the first weeks of life.
