ABSTRACT:
A method for making and identifying mistletoe extracts as being of a pharmaceutical grade which is useful in treating AIDS, cancers and other diseases where the immune system is suppressed. The method is based on the discovery of five marker proteins which selectively bind with different sugars. Pharmaceutical grade extracts in accordance with the invention require certain concentration levels of each protein. An additional further requirement is that each protein fraction must meet specific bioactivity levels with respect to preventing malignant cell proliferation. Fingerprint markers with respect to viscotoxins and alkaloids present in the extract are also provided. Methods of treatment using the pharmaceutical grade mistletoe are disclosed.
