    摘要: A method of contraception is disclosed which comprises a two-stage protocol. In the first stage, an estrogenic compound in a first composition is administered daily as the sole contraceptively active substance to a human female from about Day 2 to about Day 7 of her menstrual cycle, where Day 1 is the first day of menses. The second stage of the protocol occurs immediately thereafter during which at least one follow-up composition containing a progestin is administered daily to the same human female. The follow-up composition can contain a progestin as the sole contraceptively active ingredient, or can contain a combination of an estrogenic compound with a progestin in different weight ratios. A drug delivery system containing daily dosage units is also described.

    摘要: A method of sequentially removing one or more N-terminal amino acid residues from an analog of a eucaryotic polypeptide synthesized in a foreign host, comprises contacting the eucaryotic polypeptide analog with aminopeptidase under suitable conditions permitting sequential removal of N-terminal amino acid residues, where the polypeptide analog contains amino acid residue or sequence of residues which blocks the action of an aminopeptidase located at a position other than the N-terminal end of the polypeptide analog. A specific embodiment of the invention concerns removing both an N-terminal methionine residue and its adjacent Leucine residue from a growth hormone analog produced in bacteria by contacting the growth hormone analog with Aeromonas aminopeptidase under suitable conditions permitting removal of the N-terminal methionine and Leucine residues. The invention also concerns eucaryotic polypeptide analogs produced in accordance with the methods of the invention.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of producing a human growth hormone having the amino acid sequence of naturally occurring human growth hormone which comprises
    a) producing in a microbial host a first polypeptide which is characterized by the presence of one or more additional amino acids at the N-terminus of the amino acid sequence of naturally occurring human growth hormone; b) contacting the first polypeptide so produced with an enzyme, preferably an aminopeptidase, so as to produce a second polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of naturally occurring human growth hormone; and c) recovering the second polypeptide so produced. A preferred microbial host is a bacterium, especially E. coli .
