  • Compositions and methods for inducing apoptosis in tumor cells
    Publication number: 20060135429
    Abstract: A method is described for using an E-domain peptide for the induction of apoptosis in a cancer cells. In particular, the invention relates to methods for using a-type E-domain peptide from trout IGF and/or a b-type E-domain peptide from human IGF for the induction of apoptosis in a broad spectrum of cancer cells. The peptide species can be a homologue of the E-domain of IGF-1 or a fusion protein comprising the E-domain of IGF-1. It can be administered to one or more cancer cells alone or in a pharmaceutically acceptable composition.
