The invention relates to processes for producing semi-purified and purified allergen extracts and pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines for use in the diagnosis and treatment of allergy. In one aspect of the invention, a process for producing a depigmented allergen extract is provided, the process comprising: a) basifying a native allergen extract; and b) removing molecules having a molecular size of less than 3.5 kDa; and c) adjusting the pH to neutrality; thereby to produce a depigmented allergen extract.

Methods of protecting skin of a mammal by application of silk-derived compositions useful for treating or preventing a wide variety of skin conditions. Silk solutions and silk mats are prepared and applied to the skin surface. The silk compositions may be self-adhesive or sutured to cover a wound or area of skin exposed to physical stresses and strains, thereby preventing a wound and/or promoting wound healing.

The present invention relates to a biological control composition comprising at least arthropod biological control agents and astigmatid mite eggs. The invention also relates to the use of astigmatid mite eggs as a nutrient source for arthropod biological control agents. The invention also relates to a biological control composition comprising at least one population of arthropod biological control agents, a nutrient source comprising astigmatid mite eggs, and optionally, a support and/or dissemination substrate. Finally, the present invention further relates to a method for rearing arthropods from astigmatid mite eggs as a nutrient source.
