title: Distribution and characterization of cyclo(His-Pro)-like immunoreactivity in human cerebrospinal fluid.
abstract: The distribution of cyclo(His-Pro), thyrotropin-releasing hormone and pyroglutamate aminopeptidase activity was examined in the CSF of human and a number of other mammalian species. Cyclo(His-Pro)-like immunoreactivity was present in the CSF of all species examined, and was immunologically and chromatographically identical with the authentic cyclo(His-Pro). Cyclo(His-Pro) concentration in CSF had no significant correlation with CSF TRH or pyroglutamate aminopeptidase.
