Abstract:
1. An isolated polypeptide or analog thereof containing up to 50 amino acid residues consisting of the amino acid sequence W-(Val Thr Gly Pro Arg Leu Val Ser Asn His Ser Leu His Glu Thr Ser Ser Val Phe Val Asp Ser Leu Thr Lys Ala Thr Cys Ala Pro Gln His Gly Ala Pro Gly Pro Gly Pro Ala Asp Ala Ser Lys Val) n Val Ala Xaa Gly Leu (Gly Leu Ser Lys Ala Tyr Val Gly Gln Lys Ser Ser Phe Thr Val Asp Cys Ser Lys Ala Gly Asn Asn Met Leu Leu Val Gly Val His Gly Pro Arg Thr Pro Cys Glu Glu Ile Leu Val Lys His Val Gly) m -Y SEQ ID NO: 17 wherein W is hydrogen or a C Y is a hydroxyl group, an amino group, or substituted amino group represented by —NR Xaa is an amino acid residue; n and m are each independently zero or 1, wherein when n is zero, amino acid residues within the parentheses are absent and when n is 1, up to 45 residues of the parenthesized amino acid sequence are present, with the proviso that when one of the residues within the parentheses is present, each residue to the carboxy-terminal side of said residue is also present in the sequence shown, and when m is zero, amino acid residues within the parentheses are absent, and when m is 1, up to 45 residues of the parenthesized amino acid sequence are present, with the proviso that when one of the residues within the parentheses is present, each residue to the amino-terminal side of said residue is also present in the sequence shown.
