摘要:
PGRF has been synthesized. The invention provides synthetic peptides which are extremely potent in stimulating the release of pituitary GH in mammals and which have the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is OH or NH.sub.2, R.sub.34 is Ser or Ala, R.sub.38 is Arg or Ser, R.sub.40 is Ala or Arg and R.sub.41 is Arg, Arg-Ala, Arg-Ala-Arg, Arg-Ala-Arg-Leu or des-R.sub.41. These peptides or biologically active fragments thereof, or analogs thereof having well-known substitutions and/or additions, as well as nontoxic salts of any of the foregoing, may be administered therapeutically to mammals, including humans, and may be used diagnostically.

The invention provides synthetic peptides which are extremely potent in stimulating the release of pituitary GH in mammals and which have the formula: H-Tyr-Ala-Asp-Ala-Ile-Phe-Thr-Asn-Ser-Tyr-Arg-Lys-Val-Leu-Gly-Gln-Leu-Ser-Ala-Arg-Lys-Leu-Leu-Gln-Asp-Ile-Met-Ser-Arg-Gln-Gln-Gly-Glu-Arg-Asn-Gln-Glu-Gln-Gly-Ala-Arg-Val-Arg-Leu-Y wherein Y is OH or NH.sub.2. These peptides or biologically active fragments thereof, or analogs thereof having well-known substitutions and, or additions, as well as nontoxic salts of any of the foregoing, may be administered therapeutically to mammals, including humans, and may be used diagnostically. The peptides are useful in stimulating the release of GH and accelerating growth in warm-blooded non-human animals, particularly pigs, and in improving aquiculture.

The peptides are useful in stimulating the release of GH so as to accelerate growth in warm-blooded non-human animals, particularly cattle, and/or to increase the production of milk in lactating cows, and also in improving aquiculture.
摘要:
28-member residue and 25-member residue peptides have been synthesized containing the tetradecapeptide somatostatin that are more potent than somatostatin. Somatostatin-28 has the formula: ##STR1## The three N-terminal amino acid residues are absent in somatostatin-25. Somatostatin-28 or somatostatin-25 or a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt thereof, dispersed in a pharmaceutically acceptable liquid or solid carrier, can be administered to mammals in the same manner as somatostatin.
摘要:
Substantially pure mammalian basic fibroblast growth factors are produced. The amino acid residue sequences of bovine and human bFGF are disclosed as well as a DNA chain encoding the polypeptide of the bovine species. By appropriately inserting a synthesized DNA chain into a cloning vector and using the cloning vector to transform cells, synthetic bFGF can be obtained from transformed cell lines, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
摘要:
A synthetic peptide is extremely potent in stimulating the release of pituitary GH in mammals, particularly in sheep, since it is the replicate of the native (hormone) releasing factor of the sheep hypothalamus. It contains the following sequence: Tyr-Ala-Asp-Ala-Ile-Phe-Thr-Asn-Ser-Tyr-Arg-Lys-Ile-Leu-Gly-Gln-Leu-Ser-Ala-Arg-Lys-Leu-Leu-Gln-Asp-Ile-Met-Asn-Arg-Gln-Gln-Gly-Glu-Arg-Asn-Gln-Glu-Gln-Gly-Ala-Lys-Val-Arg-Leu. This peptide or a biologically active fragment thereof, or analogs thereof having well-known substitutions and/or additions, as well as nontoxic salts of any of the foregoing, may be administered therapeutically to mammals and may be used diagnostically. The peptide is particularly useful in stimulating the release of GH so as to accelerate growth in warm-blooded non-human animals, particularly sheep, and/or to improve aquiculture.

Substantially pure mammalian basic fibroblast growth factors are produced. The amino acid residue sequences of bovine and human bFGF are disclosed as well as a DNA chain encoding the polypeptide of the bovine species. By appropriately inserting a synthesized DNA chain into a cloning vector and using the cloning vector to transform cells, synthetic bovin bFGF can be obtained from transformed cell lines, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic.

Substantially pure bovine pituitary fibroblast growth factor, a 146 amino acid residue polypeptide, is produced. The amino acid residue sequence of bpFGF is disclosed as well as a DNA chain encoding the polypeptide. By appropriately inserting a synthesized DNA chain into a cloning vector and using the cloning vector to transform cells, synthetic bpFGF can be obtained from transformed cell lines, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic.
摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies that are specific for vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-I). This invention also provides nucleotide sequences encoding and amino acid sequences comprising variable heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules, including sequences corresponding to the complementarity determining regions of CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3. The invention also provides methods for generation and expression of anti -VEGFR-I antibodies and methods of treating angiogenic-related disorders and reducing tumor growth by administering anti-VEGFR-I antibodies.
摘要:
The present invention relates to physiologically-active derivatized natural and recombinant mammalian and human proteins and polypeptides. The invention provides chemical methods for derivatizing natural and recombinantly-derived proteins or polypeptides containing cysteine residues, either naturally or through site specific mutageneses. The pharmaceutical compositions containing said derivatized proteins and/or polypeptides are formulated to provide stable, long-acting compositions of such proteins and/or polypeptides, previously difficult to achieve.
