The influence of alpha-fetoprotein of man, dog and cat on the processes of reparative regeneration of the skin and long tubular bones was studied. alpha-fetoprotein was shown to stimulate regenerative processes by forming young connective tissue, but had no strong species specificity. Commercial preparation of human alpha-fetoprotein proved to possess maximum physiological activity in comparison with other alpha-fetoproteins under study.
