• • and an oleaginous base, is an ointment containing a compound which is effective for atopic symptoms, and is an ointment having low skin irritancy and excellent storage stability, thus, can be used as a pharmaceutical product effective for the pruritus caused by atopy or the like.

The present invention includes compositions and methods for the treatment of inflammatory disease (e.g., asthma, COPD, inflammatory bowel disease, atopic dermatitis, atopy, allergy, allergic rhinitis, scleroderma, and the like), relating to inhibiting a chitinase-like molecule. The invention further includes methods to identify new compounds for the treatment of inflammatory disease, including, but not limited to, asthma, COPD and the like. This is because the present invention demonstrates, for the first time, that expression of IL-13, and of a chitinase-like molecule, mediates and/or is associated with inflammatory disease and that inhibiting the chitinase-like molecule treats and even prevents, the disease. Thus, the invention relates to the novel discovery that inhibiting a chitinase-like molecule treats and prevents an inflammatory disease.

The present invention provides a probiotic, Lactobacillus paracasei NCC 2461, i.e. ST11, for use by administration to expectant females and/or lactating mothers, and to their progeny for the reduction or prevention of the development of allergic immune responses in progeny. A daily dose of ST11 is administered to a pregnant woman for at least two weeks before delivery and, after delivery, the daily dose of ST11, is administered to the lactating mother or the newborn infant for at least two months, either directly or via the mother's milk. The infant immune responses to allergens are thus reduced, resulting in a "dampened" allergic response. Thus allergy, including atopy, may be prevented in the progeny.
