Studies were conducted to assess the ability of the thymic polypeptide hormone
thymopoietin (TPO) to interact with proto-typical ganglia-type or muscle-type nicotinic …

Current studies suggest that several distinct populations of nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh)
receptors exist. One of these is the muscle-type nicotinic receptors with which …

The identity of the neuronal nicotinic cr-bungarotoxin(a-BGT) site, which appears to be
distinct from the functional nicotinic receptor, is unclear. Recent work in our laboratory has …

α‐Bungarotoxin (α‐BGT), a snake venom polypeptide, interacts potently and specifically with
a nicotinic receptor population in neuronal tissue. However, the identity of this site is unclear …

The effects of the thymic polypeptide thymopoietin (Tpo) on the properties of the nicotinic
acetylcholine receptor (AcChoR) were investigated by patch clamp techniques on mouse C2 …

Thymopoietin, a polypeptide hormone of the thymus that has pleiotropic actions on the
immune, endocrine, and nervous systems, potently interacts with the neuromuscular …

Abstract Thymopoietin, a 48–49-amino acid polypeptide present in the thymus gland, was
investigated as a potential ligand for the neuronal nicotinic α-bungarotoxin binding site in rat …

Thymopoietin is a polypeptide hormone of the thymus with physiological effects on the
immune system and on acetylcholine-mediated transmission at the neuromuscular synapse …

Thymopoietin is a 48 to 49 amino acid polypeptide hormone of the thymus, which regulates
immune function. The present experiments show that the polypeptide can cause a complete …

Recent work has shown that thymopoietin, a polypeptide with actions in the immune and
nervous systems, potently binds to the alpha-bungarotoxin (alpha-BGT) receptor. The …
