Immunological stability in vitro and in vivo of eel calcitonin.
The immunological activity of eel calcitonin was more persistent than that of porcine and human calcitonin when incubated in vitro with rabbit serum, human serum, liver homogenate or kidney homogenate, respectively. Both eel and human calcitonin were more stable than porcine calcitonin when injected iv into rabbits.
