[Stimulating effect of fetal serum on the regeneration of several tissues].

Experiments in 164 animals carried out by morphological, histochemical, morpho-functional and clinical methods established the fact of stimulation of the recovery processes in post-operational wounds of the stomach, urinary bladder, and radius upon parenteral inoculation of the fetal serum. The process of healing of these wounds was found to be shortened by 10-25%. The main effect of the fetal serum is directed on activation of the proliferative processes of a young connective tissue in the reparation zone. A hypothesis of the stimulating role of embryospecific proteins (alpha-fetoprotein) is suggested.
