How Urocidin works
Urocidin has a therapeutic potential in high grade transitional cell carcinomas of the bladder, including refractory CIS. The combination of Urocidin with hyaluronic acid (HA) enhances both the apoptosis-inducing activity of Urocidin against prostate cancer cell lines, and the immune stimulatory activity of Urocidin (stimulation of anticancer cytokine synthesis by human immune effector cells).
