Abstract: Somatostain is a peptide hormone composed of 14 amino acids and secreted by hypothalamus. It acts in inhibition on growth. Exhaustion or immune neutralization of somatostain is able to improve growth hormone level and animal growth. In this paper, we briefly introduced the research progress in active and passive immunization against somatostatin or its gene,in mechanisms and characteristics as well as immune enhancement of the gene vaccine. Moreover, application and research prospect of somatostatin gene vaccine were described in detail.
