Methods and compositions for modulating an immune response in a subject are provided. Methods include administering to the subject a composition comprising an effective amount of a lymphocyte differentiation factor, e.g., protein A (PA), sufficient to modulate the immune response. Compositions include a lymphocyte differentiation factor, e.g., protein A (PA), in an amount less than 1 &#x3bc;g.

Protein A compositions and methods of use

Protein A methods of use

The invention provides methods for modulating an immune response in a subject including, for example, administering to the subject a composition comprising an effective amount of a lymphocyte differentiation factor sufficient to modulate the immune response. In one aspect, the lymphocyte differentiation factor comprises protein A (PA).

Biomodulators, optionally linked to imaging-active moieties, can be administered to a host to enhance images thereof, e.g., NMR-, X-ray- or radio-images, preferably by increasing aberrant tissue signal intensity. Biomodulators can also condition tissue to enhance up-take of otherwise non-specific imaging agents. When linked to drugs, biomodulators can target the same to particular sites in the body.

Methods of radiotherapy using biomodulators

A process and apparatus for making holes in vegetable segments wherein the hole-making step is integrally connected with the steps of cutting and slicing of the segments prior to blanching, dehydrating and/or rehydrating whereby the time of processing of vegetable segments can be quite substantially reduced.

Method for preparing and treating vegetable segments

A process and apparatus for puncturing or perforating vegetable segments wherein the perforating step is integrally connected with the cutting and slicing of the segments prior to blanching, dehydrating and/or rehydrating whereby the time of processing of vegetable segments can be quite substantially reduced.
