PROCESS FOR PRODUCING BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE PEPTIDES AND ANTIGENOUS MEDICINAL PREPARATIVES CONTAINING THESE PEPTIDES AS ACTIVE SUBSTANCE

摘要

A peptide having primary structural homology to a continuous sequesnce of amino acid residues of bovine growth hormone in the region spanning positions 1 to 18, or positions 55 to 72, or positions 97-110 or positions 122-138 thereof or antigenically equivalent peptides thereto or salts thereof. The peptide is preferably selected from the following peptides: (a) 122-138 (b) 119-131 (c) 130-143 (d) 123-137 (e) 133-146 wherein each may be bovine, ovine, porcine, avian or salmon, or salts of any of these. The peptide may be administered to vertebrates in antigenic formulations in order to enhance growth or (in mammals) lactation.
