A/F Protein Inc. – A Biotechnology Company… A/F Protein Inc. is a biotechnology company developing the commercial potential of antifreeze proteins (AFPs). AFPs, found in certain insects, plants and cold-water fish are highly effective in preserving biological materials at cold or freezing temperatures that would normally be destructive. This utility allows for improved hypothermic and cryogenic preservation of a wide range of mammalian cells, tissues, and whole organs; can improve the texture and consistancy of frozen foods and has applications for cosmetics. Paradoxically, AFPs can also be used under appropriate circumstance to enhance cell destruction at freezing temperatures, a characteristic with applications in the cryosurgical treatment of tumors. > ( www.afprotein.com )
