The present invention relates to particularly stable and soluble scFv antibodies and Fab fragments specific for TNF, which comprise specific light chain and heavy chain sequences that are optimized for stability, solubility, in vitro and in vivo binding of TNF, and low immunogenicity. The antibodies are designed for the diagnosis and/or treatment of TNF-mediated disorders. The nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expression of the recombinant antibodies of the invention, methods for isolating them and the use of the antibodies in medicine are also described.

A probiotic composition and method for activating probiotic spores for consumption by a human to reduce inflammation in or treat inflammatory conditions in the gut. A probiotic composition comprises a nutrient-germinant composition, one or more species of Bacillus spores, and optionally a food or beverage product, which are mixed or pre-mixed in any combination. A nutrient-germinant composition comprises one or more L-amino acids, optionally a source of potassium ions, and optionally one or more buffers, if the source of potassium ions is not also a buffer. A method of activating the spores comprises heating the probiotic composition or food or beverage containing the probiotic composition to a temperature range of around 42° C.-100° C., more preferably 70° C.-85° C. prior to being administered to ingested. Dosing the probiotic composition at around 1 to 4 grams per day over a treatment cycle can reduce indicators of inflammation by at least 10-20% or more.
