Abstract
A superoxide dismutase originally found in extracellular body fluids and therefore termed extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) is prepared by growing a cell line, preferably of mammalian origin, producing EC-SOD and recovering the EC-SOD secreted from the cells or by inserting a DNA sequence encoding EC-SOD into a suitable vector, introducing the recombinant vector into a host cell, growing the cell and recovering the EC-SOD produced. EC-SOD may be used for the prophylaxis or treatment of diseases or disorders associated with the presence or formation of superoxide radicals.
