ABSTRACT:
A method of preventing the transmission of or treating herpesvirus, such as herpes simplex virus infection, or Chlamydia trachomatis comprising administering to a patient a composition which comprises: (i) a protein or peptide containing lysines and an N-terminal amino group, wherein at least one of the lysines or the N-terminal amino group of the protein or peptide, such as casein, .beta.-lactoglobulin, powdered milk or whey, is modified by contact with an aromatic acid anhydride compound, such as trimellitic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride chloride or 3-hydroxyphthalic anhydride and/or (ii) a protein or peptide containing arginines, which is modified by an arginine modifying agent containing at least one carboxyl group, such as p-carboxyphenylglyoxal.
