Summary Parallel in vitro biassays using rat uterus and guinea pig large intestine tissues specific for the bombesin family of peptides, demonstrated that the bombesin-like peptides present in bovine milk can produce a dose-related response similar to bombesin and litorin. The bioactivity of this type of milk peptide appeared to be approximately 20–50% as active as the amphibian peptides. These data support the proposal that a bombesin immunoreactive peptide in milk contains bombesin bioactivity.
