We show that the high momentum scaling function for nucleons in nuclei, G (k) = exp(-k/k/sub 0/), determined from the study of the production of protons in p-nucleus collisions in kinematic regions forbidden in free p-p interactions, also accounts for the production of antiprotons in p-nucleus collisions at energies below the free proton threshold. A simple scaling method as well as detailed Monte Carlo calculations are employed and estimates of K production at ''subthreshold'' energies are given.
