ProtoKinetix says AAGP protects against harsh radiation
By Elaine Rigoli
Tampa, Fla., July 12 - ProtoKinetix, Inc. announced that ongoing testing has resulted in a definitive confirmation of AAGP's ability to preserve living cells against harsh radiation.
The company said it completed a series of tests bombarding human skin cells with very strong radiation. After six hours of UV-C exposure, the control group (untreated) cells were irradiated to death.
However, using a 5 mg/ml concentration of AAGP on cells exposed to six hours of UV-C radiation, ProteoCell reported an 85% survival rate.
The company said these results demonstrate the strong protective effects of AAGP even after excessive UV-C treatment.
More advanced testing has started with major institutions to develop several medical applications for these molecules.
ProtoKinetix is a biotechnical company based in Vancouver, B.C.
