Abstract

The effect of human, canine, and feline α-fetoprotein on reparative regeneration of the skin and long bones of mice and rats was studied. α-Fetoprotein has a stimulating action, through the formation of young connective tissue, on regeneration but without strict species-specificity. Of the various α-fetoproteins studied, a commercial preparation of human α-fetoprotein had the highest physiological activity.
