ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a new Schwann cell-mitogenic factor of molecular weight about 43 to 45 kilodaltons, when isolated by SDS-PAGE. The invention provides therapeutic formulation comprising the new factor, and the use of the factor and the said formulations in treating conditions which involve a factor-sensitive or factor-responsive cell type.
