Abstract
Previously unknown biologically active peptide analogues are isolated by mixing a known biologically active peptide with an affinity medium and separating the unknown peptide analogue by techniques such as liquid chromotography or electrophoresis. These biologically active peptide analogues react with receptors and thus act as hormones which have a more discriminating and longer lasting hormonal action than the original peptide.
Claims5
A process for obtaining a neuropeptide analogue from brain or other organ of the body comprising adding a neuropeptide to brain or other organ of the body, the neuropeptide being present in an amount sufficient to displace the neuropeptide analogue from brain or other organ of the body, and isolating the neuropeptide analogue.
