It has been previously found that a proline-rich polypeptide (PRP) isolated from ovine colostrum has a regulatory effect on the immune response. A nonapeptide fragment Val-Glu-Ser-Tyr-Val-Pro-Leu-Phe-Pro was isolated from the chymotryptic digest of PRP. The nonapeptide showed biological activity similar to PRP. The determined amino acid sequence was now confirmed by synthesis. Synthetic nonapeptide as well as its C-terminal hexapeptide, Tyr-Val-Pro-Leu-Phe-Pro, showed biological activity similar to PRP and the nonapeptide obtained from PRP.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D003126 Colostrum The thin, yellow, serous fluid secreted by the mammary glands during pregnancy and immediately postpartum before lactation begins. It consists of immunologically active substances, white blood cells, water, protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Colostrums

D006462 Hemolytic Plaque Technique A method to identify and enumerate cells that are synthesizing ANTIBODIES against ANTIGENS or HAPTENS conjugated to sheep RED BLOOD CELLS. The sheep red blood cells surrounding cells secreting antibody are lysed by added COMPLEMENT producing a clear zone of HEMOLYSIS.
