چکیده
Several trials for the COVID-19 pandemic are found. Prof. Shunji Nakamura, Tokushima University was awarded 2014 Nobel prize in Physics light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Deep ultraviolet LED (DUV-LED) causes SARS-CoV-2 inactivation as 99.9% by 265 nm. Gc protein-derived macrophage-activating factor (GcMAF)-based immunotherapy has a wider application serious infection, chronic fatigue syndrome, and cancers. Covid center Naples submitted phase II report concerning GcMAF Feb 2021. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) its metabolite protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) show anti-inflammatory antiviral effects Zika, Dengue, influenza A viruses, SARS-CoV-2. These results hopefully contribute to research development COVID-19.

Preparation of Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor (GcMAF) and its structural characterization and biological activities.
BACKGROUND Gc protein has been reported to be a precursor of Gc protein-derived macrophage activation factor (GcMAF) in the inflammation-primed macrophage activation cascade. An inducible beta-galactosidase of B cells and neuraminidase of T cells convert Gc protein to GcMAF. MATERIALS AND METHODS Gc protein from human serum was purified using 25(OH)D3 affinity column chromatography and modifi...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for Prostate Cancer with Gc Protein-Derived Macrophage-Activating Factor, GcMAF.
Serum Gc protein (known as vitamin D(3)-binding protein) is the precursor for the principal macrophage-activating factor (MAF). The MAF precursor activity of serum Gc protein of prostate cancer patients was lost or reduced because Gc protein was deglycosylated by serum alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (Nagalase) secreted from cancerous cells. Therefore, macrophages of prostate cancer patients ha...
متن کاملGc protein-derived macrophage activating factor (GcMAF): isoelectric focusing pattern and tumoricidal activity.
BACKGROUND Gc protein is the precursor for Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor (GcMAF), with three phenotypes: Gc1f, Gc1s and Gc2, based on its electrophoretic mobility. The difference in electrophoretic mobility is because of the difference in its posttranslational sugar moiety composition. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared the difference between Gc protein and GcMAF electrophore...

The MAF precursor activity of serum Gc protein of HIV-infected patients was lost or reduced because Gc protein is deglycosylated by alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase (Nagalase) secreted from HIV-infected cells. Therefore, macrophages of HIV-infected patients having deglyco...
متن کاملIs chondroitin sulfate responsible for the biological effects attributed to the GC protein-derived Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF)?
We hypothesize that a plasma glycosaminoglycan, chondroitin sulfate, may be responsible for the biological and clinical effects attributed to the Gc protein-derived Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF), a protein that is extracted from human blood. Thus, Gc protein binds chondroitin sulfate on the cell surface and such an interaction may occur also in blood, colostrum and milk. This interpretat...
