The blocking effect of selenium-enriched malt (Se-malt) on AFB1-in-duced UDS was reported. When the rats were fed with food containing lppm Se in form of Se-malt for two weeks, the UDS values of leukocytes treated with 6?10-7M AFB1 in vitro was decreased from 54.8 ?14.0 opm/106 WBC to 35.1?10.0 cpm/106 WBC (p

The relationship between antiproliferative effect of human IFN-γ-EGF3 fusion protein and the influence of EGF receptor binding activity has been studied on A431 cell line. Antiproliferative activity of human IFN-γ-EGF3 was higher than that of its parent IFN-γ. In the 125 I-EGF receptor competition experiment, the inhibition of EGF receptor binding capacity on the target cells was observed in the treatments of human IFN-γ or IFN-γ-EGF3, but the later was more significant. Our data suggests that the antiproliferative effects by IFN-γ and its fusion protein are closely related to their EGF receptor competitions.
