The present invention relates to a method for drying human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). More specifically, the present invention is related to a method of roller drying or drum drying of human milk oligosaccharides in a simple and economical way.

A nutritional composition comprises fucosylated human milk oligosaccharide and/or sialylated human milk oligosaccha-ride, non-digestible, fermentable polysaccharide, and Bifidobacterium. The nutritional composition is free of short-chain fructooligosac-charide having at least about 50% of molecules with a degree of polymerization of less than about 5. A method of treating a subject at risk of developing a Clostridium difficile infection or a subject having a Clostridium difficile infection comprises administering such a nutritional composition.

Provided herein are isolated antibodies or antibody fragments thereof that immunospecifically bind to platelet factor 4 (PF4). In some embodiments the isolated antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof comprise a light chain CDR and framework region comprising SEQ ID NO: 4 and a heavy chain CDR and framework region comprising SEQ ID NO: 10. Also provided herein are methods for treating heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and methods for reducing the likelihood that subject will become afflicted with HIT. Further disclosed are uses of the isolated antibodies or antibody fragments in the treatment of HIT or the manufacture of compositions for the treatment of HIT.
