title: Enhanced isolation of Tyr-MIF-1 from fresh human brain cortex.
abstract: Tyr-MIF-1 previously was isolated from tissue obtained after death. A possible role of autolysis could not be excluded. We report the isolation of Tyr-MIF-1 (Tyr-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2) in increased amounts from fresh human brain cortex. This confirms the natural existence of this brain peptide.
