USE OF COLOSTRININ, CONSTITUENT PEPTIDES THEREOF, AND ANALOGS THEREOF AS ANTI-MUTAGENIC AGENTS

摘要

The present invention includes methods of decreasing the mutation frequency in a cell, the method including contacting cells with colostrinin, a constituent peptide thereof, an active analog thereof, or a combination thereof. Mutation frequencies decreased by the present method include spontaneous mutations and mutations induced by reactive oxygen-species (ROS), UVA radiation, UVB radiation, chemical agents and physical agents.
