ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay for human pancreatic growth hormone-releasing factor (hpGRF) was developed. Using this radioimmunoassay, it was found that immunoreactive hpGRF (which is present in hypothalamic tissues) of at least two different molecular sizes is often produced by small cell carcinoma of the lung.
