Abstract
Crude, partially purified and purified fractions of pigeon milk inject ed subcutaneously in newborn mice brought about precocious opening of eyelids by 2-3 days and eruption of incisors by 3-4 days. The biologic al activity of pigeon milk-derived growth factor (PMGF) compared well with that of mouse epidermal growth factor (mEGF).
