6. The antagonist of claim 1 , wherein the peptide comprises a subsequence of SEQ ID NO:2 selected from YFVLISVF1L (SEQ ID NO:3), YFVILI (SEQ ID NO:4), SPIYV (SEQ ID NO:5), SFVIA (SEQ ID NO:6), SVIFL (SEQ ID NO:7), YFVYIA (SEQ ID NO:S), YSFY (SEQ ID NO.9), and SPIYVYSFYIA (SEQ ID NO:10).
7. The antagonist of claim 1, wherein the peptide comprises the sequence YFVLISVFILSPIYVYSFYTA (Peptide X; SEQ TD NO:2).
8. The antagonist of claim 1 , wherein the peptide consists of the sequence YFVLISVFILSPIYVYSFYIA (Peptide X; SEQ ID NO:2).
9. The antagonist of claim 1 , wherein the antagonist of the bombesin receptor suppresses growth of a cell contacted with the antagonist.
10. The antagonist of claim 9, wherein the antagonist suppresses growth by inducing apoptosis of the cell,
11. The antagonist of claim 9, wherein the cell over-expresses a bombesin receptor.
12. The antagonist of claim 11, wherein the cell that over-expresses the bombesin receptor is a neoplastic cell.
13. The antagonist of claim 9, wherein suppression of growth by the antagonist is resistant to inhibition by nicotine.
14. The antagonist of claim 1, wherein the antagonist is a peptide produced by solid phase synthesis.
15. The antagonist of claim 1, wherein the antagonist is a recombinant polypeptide or subsequence thereof.
16. The antagonist of claim 15, wherein the antagonist is a peptide produced by cleavage of a recombinant polypeptide,
17.

18. The antagonist of claim 17, wherein the antagonist suppresses growth of a neoplastic cell over-expressing a bombesin receptor when brought into contact with the neoplastic cell.
19. The antagonist of claim 18, wherein the antagonist induces apoptosis of the neoplastic cell, thereby suppressing growth of the neoplastic cell.
20. An anti-neoplastio agent comprising at least one linear sequence of amino acids comprising at least 6 contiguous amino acids of YFVLISVFILSPIYVYSFYIA (Peptide X; SEQ ID NO:2), wherein the at least one linear sequence of amino acids targets the fifth transmembrane domain of the bombesin receptor.
