Abstract
This invention is directed to peptide fragments of porcine somatotropin (pST) which are used to generate epitope-specific anti-pST antibodies. When such antibodies are administered with pST to warm-blooded animals, the growth enhancing activity of pST is potentiated.
Claims3
A peptide consisting essentially of nine amino acids, said peptide having the amino acid sequence Tyr-Glu-Lys-Leu-Lys-Asp-Leu-Glu-Glu, which corresponds to amino acid residues 110-118 of porcine somatotropin (pST).
