ABSTRACT:
A novel antiproliferative factor (APF) present in urine of patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) is described. This urine antiproliferative factor can serve as a marker for disease activity and its antagonists as therapeutic medicaments for IC. In addition, APF and its agonists can be used for treating diseases associated with cell proliferation.
