Abstract
We have used gel filtration, ion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC to isolate vasoactive intestinal peptide from rat intestine. Microsequence analysis of 1 nmole peptide indicated that the sequence was identical to the porcine octacosapeptide VIP. In radioimmunoassay with four antisera and in the turkey pancreas bioassay, rat VIP was equipotent with highly purified preparations of porcine, human and canine VIP. A less basic rat VIP-variant was also isolated and the N-terminal decapeptide region that was sequenced was identical with that of porcine VIP.Entities:
