Abstract
Methods of preparing a proteoliposome comprise the step of contacting a liposome with an effective portion of RalBP1 to create a proteoliposome. RalBP1 is effective for the protection and treatment of mammals and the environment against the accumulation of toxic compounds and prevents accumulation of one or more toxic compounds, reduces the concentration of toxic compounds, and protects against further contamination with one or more toxic compounds.
Claims20
A method of reducing effects of radiation toxicity in a subject exposed to radiation, the method comprising the steps of selecting a subject with or at risk of developing radiation-induced toxicity and administering to the subject a proteoliposomal composition comprising a liposome and RLIP76 before and/or after the subject has been exposed to the radiation, wherein administration reduces the effects of the radiation toxicity in the subject.
