abbr. BP8. This peptide, AGHTKKAP (Ala-Gly-His-Thr-Lys-Lys-Ala-Pro), has been isolated by Liu et al (2014) from the chicken bursa of Fabricius, the central humoral immune organ unique to birds which plays important roles in B-lymphocyte differentiation. The peptide, which is one of several other bursal peptides, promotes colony-forming units for pre-B-cells, binds to B-cell precursors, regulates B-cell development in vitro and in vivo, and increases immunoglobulin secretion.
