Corticotropin Releasing Factor human, rat has been used:
- as a component in Dulbecco′s modified eagle medium (DMEM) for incubating lung explants
- as a component in serum-free complete medium for isolation and culturing of fetal distal lung epithelial cells
- in the synthesis of the corticotropin-releasing factor(CRF)-TAMRA?1?mixture
- in chronic intracerebroventicular administration, to study its effect on hypoxia in hippocampus
