Abstract
Recent immunohistochemical findings have indicated the presence of gastrin-releasing peptide in normal and pathological human lungs. The gastrin-releasing peptidelike peptides present in a human malignant lung carcinoid tumor were characterized by gel chromatography and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. This tumor did not contain bombesin; this tumor expressed a gastrin-releasing peptidelike compound, several amino-terminal fragments and a carboxy-terminal fragment of gastrin-releasing peptide.
