| 摘要 |
The invention relates to novel compositions comprising alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and methods for preventing, treating or inhibiting a malignant neoplasm expressing an alpha-fetoprotein receptor (AFPR) with or without multidrug resistance. Compositions comprising a non-covalent complex of an exogenous AFP, and at least one apoptosis-inducing agent selected from the group comprising mitochondrial membrane permeabilizing agents, mitochondrial pore opening inducing agents, ionophores, caspase 9 activators, caspase 3 activators and retinoids, are provided, wherein the at least one apoptosis-inducing agent reversibly binds to the exogenous AFP. The invention also provides for a process for butanol extraction of porcine alpha-fetoprotein obtained from blood and amniotic fluid extracted during early embryogenesis. |
