Abstract
Chicken growth hormone has been isolated from adenohypophysial tissue from which the glycoprotein hormones had been removed. The procedure entailed alkali extraction, ammonium sulphate precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The resulting fraction was homogeneous, active in the rat tibia bioassay and had a similar isoelectric point, molecular weight and amino acid composition to mammalian growth hormone. A specific homologous radioimmunoassay has been developed using the avian growth hormone.Entities:
