FERMENTED WHEAT GERM PROTEINS (FWGP) FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

摘要

The present invention provides compositions comprising the component of fermented wheat germ extract ("FWGE") active in reducing, inhibiting or preventing the proliferation of cancer cells and/or tumors, and methods of making and using such compositions. The active component from FWGE comprises polypeptides having a molecular weight in the range of about 5-100 kiloDaltons (kD), for example, a molecular weight in the range of about 12-50 kD. Exemplary polypeptides from FWGE determined to be active in reducing, inhibiting or preventing the proliferation of cancer cells and/or tumors are listed in Table 1.
