The invention relates to a composition for storage and development of eggs from helminthic parasites, where the composition further comprises a liquid carrier having a pH value of below 7 at a temperature of from 10C to ambient temperature. The liquid carrier can be sulphuric acid, H2SO4 with a pH in the range of from 0 to 2, and antibiotics can be added. The invention further relates to a method for treating, ameliorating, prophylactic or curative, an autoimmune or allergic disease in an individual, animal or man, using eggs being separated from the composition. The present invention also relates to methods for isolation, embryonation and preservation of eggs of helminthic parasite, and to a method for producing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a helminthic parasite preparation. The helminthic parasite eggs may be from the pig whipworm; Trichuris suis ova (TSO).

1. A method for the isolation and storage of eggs from the pig whipworm Trichuris suis, said method comprising the steps of: a) isolating parasite eggs either using a method 1) comprising the steps of isolating eggs from worms which have been removed from the intestine of pigs and grown in a growth
1. A method for the isolation and storage of eggs from the pig whipworm Trichuris suis, said method comprising the steps of: a) isolating parasite eggs either using a method 1) comprising the steps of isolating eggs from worms which have been removed from the intestine of pigs and grown in a growth medium suitable for such growth, wherein the worms lay their eggs in said suitable growth medium, or a method 2) comprising the steps of using an infected pig, or infecting a pig, with Trichuris suis and isolating eggs from fecal material produced by said pig,b) washing repeatedly the isolated material in sulphuric acid H2SO4, having a pH of below 6, to reduce the counts of foreign pathogens both by dilution and inactivation, wherein the repeated washing steps comprises a series of repeated washing steps employing sieves having a decreased mesh size;c) storing the isolated eggs in sulfuric acid, H2SO4, having a pH of below 6 to inactivate any bacteria, fungi and/or viruses, if present,d) embryonating the Trichuris suis eggs by storing the composition of eggs and sulphuric acid in an incubator at temperatures of 15-30° C. in 2-6 months for development of the eggs from un-embryonated eggs to embryonated eggs, ande) storing the isolated and embryonated eggs at temperatures in the range of 1-10° C. in sulphuric acid, H2SO4 having a pH of below 6, thereby allowing for maintenance of biotic potential and the prevention of pathogen growth. 2. A method for producing a pharmaceutical composition comprising a Trichuris suis preparation, comprising the steps of: a) raising a preparatory animal in a specific human pathogen-free environment;b) obtaining a Trichuris suis isolate from said preparatory animal;c) extracting eggs from said Trichuris suis isolate;d) washing repeatedly the isolated material in sulphuric acid H2SO4, having a pH of below 6, to reduce the counts of foreign pathogens both by dilution and inactivation, wherein the repeated washing steps comprises a series of repeated washing steps employing sieves having a decreased mesh size;e) storing un-embryonated eggs from said Trichuris suis isolate in a composition further comprising an acidic liquid carrier being sulphuric acid, H2SO4 having a pH of below 6;f) embryonating eggs from said Trichuris suis isolate by storing the composition of eggs and sulphuric acid in an incubator at temperatures of 15-30° C. in 2-6 months for development of the eggs from un-embryonated eggs to embryonated eggs to generate a pharmaceutical composition; andg) storing embryonated eggs from Trichuris suis isolate at temperatures in the range of 1-10° C. in said acidic liquid carrier. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of isolating Trichuris suis comprises obtaining a stool from said preparatory animal, and isolating Trichuris suis from said stool. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein the step of isolating Trichuris suis comprises removing a tissue from said preparatory animal, and isolating Trichuris suis or its eggs from said tissue. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein said tissue is intestines. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the step of isolating Trichuris suis further comprises the steps of: a) dissecting the tissue from said preparatory animal to allow for macroscopical isolation of worms to produce a worm culture wherein the worms lay eggs,b) filtering the worm culture to produce a filtrate with eggs; andc) isolating the eggs from said filtrate, thereby extracting eggs from said Trichuris suis isolate. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein for step d) the Trichuris suis eggs are developed from un-embryonated eggs into fully embryonated eggs. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein in step d) the embryonation of the Trichuris suis eggs is progressed until the embryonation coefficient (percentage of undifferentiated eggs developed into eggs containing larvae) is at least 60%. 9. The method of claim 2, wherein step a) is followed by the step aa) filtering the isolated material to reduce particle contamination and eggs of foreign pig parasites. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein step aa) is followed by the step aaa) floating the isolated material to reduce particle contamination. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the sulphuric acid, H2SO4, used for washing and storing the isolated eggs in steps b) and c) and being used for the development of the eggs in step d) has a pH value in the range of 0-5, and wherein the sulphuric acid, H2SO4, used for storing the isolated and embryonated eggs in step e) has a pH value in the range of 0-5. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein the sulphuric acid, H2SO4, used for washing and storing the isolated eggs in steps b) and c) and being used for the development of the eggs in step d) has a pH value in the range of 0-4, and wherein the sulphuric acid, H2SO4, used for storing the isolated and embryonated eggs in step e) has a pH value in the range of 0-4. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein the sulphuric acid, H2SO4, used for washing and storing the isolated eggs in steps b) and c) and being used for the development of the eggs in step d) has a pH value in the range of 0-3, and wherein the sulphuric acid, H2SO4, used for storing the isolated and embryonated eggs in step e) has a pH value in the range of 0-3. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the sulphuric acid, H2SO4, used for washing and storing the isolated eggs in steps b) and c) and being used for the development of the eggs in step d) has a pH value in the range of 0-2, and wherein the sulphuric acid, H2SO4, used for storing the isolated and embryonated eggs in step e) has a pH value in the range of 0-2. 15. The method of claim 2, wherein in step f) the embryonation of the Trichuris suis eggs is progressed until the embryonation coefficient (percentage of undifferentiated eggs developed into eggs containing larvae) is at least 60%. 16. The method of claim 2, wherein the liquid carrier sulphuric acid, H2SO4, used for washing and storing the un-embryonated eggs in steps d) and e) and being part of the composition in steps f) and further being used for storing the embryonated eggs in step g) has a pH value in the range of 0-5. 17. The method of claim 2, wherein the liquid carrier sulphuric acid, H2SO4 used for washing and storing the un-embryonated eggs in steps d) and e) and being part of the composition in steps f) and further being used for storing the embryonated eggs in step g) has a pH value in the range of 0-4. 18.
