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