Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject relapse suppressant for cancer capable of manifesting suppressant effects on hepatocellular carcinoma relapse or hepatocellular carcinogenesis and effectively used for the suppression, etc., of the relapse after the radical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma C by using interferon-β as an active ingredient. SOLUTION: This suppressant for the relapse of hepatocellular carcinoma C obtained by using interferon-β as an active ingredient and, as necessary, adding human serum albumin, a polyol, an organic acid buffer, etc., as a stabilizer thereto and formulating the interferon-β as dosage forms of various states such as a parenteral injection, a capsule, a nasal drop, a suppository, an oral agent or an ointment. The resultant suppressant has suppressing effects on the relapse after the radical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma C such as surgical excision, percutaneous ethanol injection therapy(PEIT), percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy(PMCT), transcatheter arterial embolization(TAE) or repeated transarterial anticancer drug infusion therapy(TAI).

N-β is generally low in concentration and contains many contaminants derived from cells or additives in addition to IFN-β. As a method for concentrating and purifying IFN-β, a method using chromatography using an insoluble carrier to which a blue dye is bound and a metal chelate group-bound carrier is preferable. That is, after contacting the crude IFN-β-containing solution with an insoluble carrier to which a blue dye has been bound,
The IFN-β is recovered as a solution using the eluate, and then the IFN-β solution is brought into contact with a chelating group-binding carrier obtained by chelating a metal such as zinc, and then recovered using the eluate and concentrated. This is a method of obtaining purified IFN-β.
