ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the synergistic interaction of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and gamma-interferon (IFN-.gamma.) in the stimulation of hepatocyte growth. Accordingly, the invention concerns a method of enhancing the biological activity of HGF by administering a biologically effective amount of HGF and a synergistically effective amount of IFN-.gamma. to a patient in need.
