The present invention provides a highly sensitive method of diagnosing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in an individual. The method includes the steps of isolating a sample from the individual; determining by non-histological means whether the sample is positive for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA); determining whether the sample is positive for anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae immunoglobulin A (ASCA-IgA); determining whether the sample is positive for anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae immunoglobulin G (ASCA-IgG); and diagnosing the individual as having IBD when the sample is positive for ANCA, ASCA-IgA or ASCA-IgG, and diagnosing the individual as not having IBD when the sample is negative for ANCA, ASCA-IgA and ASCA-IgG, provided that the method does not include histological analysis of neutrophils.

The invention relates to the use of polydextrose for stimulating the immune response (IgA) in the gastrointestinal tract of a mammal. Furthermore, the invention provides a method to potentiate the immunostimulative effect of polydextrose by mixing at least one polyol with polydextrose, said polyol being effective to synergistically increase the immunoglobulin A (IgA) concentration in the gut of a mammal. On the other hand, the invention provides also compositions containing polydextrose and polyols in which the laxative effects of polyols are reduced and which are effective to reduce the amount of biogenic amines in the gut of a mammal.

Pooled human plasma is processed by cold ethanol fractionation to produce purified immunoglobulin G antibodies for intravenous administration. Immunoglobulin A is an unwanted by-product since intravenous administration of immunoglobulin A-containing immunoglobulin G can cause life-threatening anaphylaxis in some people. The present invention is the aerosol administration, by metered dose inhaler or nebulizer, of by-product immunoglobulin A for the prevention or treatment of diseases including immunodeficiencies and infections. Antigen-specific monoclonal immunoglobulin A may be used. Immunoglobulin A from any of the aforementioned sources may then be coupled with recombinant J chain, and may then be additionally coupled with recombinant secretory component in order to render the immunoglobulin A more physiologically active. Immunoglobulin A, with or without J chain and secretory component, is then administered by aerosol inhalation.
