      Partial *-algebras were introduced by \textit{J.-P. Antoine} and \textit{W. Karwowski} [Publ. Res. Inst. Math. Sci. 21, 205-236 (1985; Zbl 0609.47058)] and studied by two of the authors with F. Mathot and A. Inoue in a sequence of papers. These algebras may include closable unbounded operators. In the present paper certain sesquilinear forms on partial *-algebras are called weights (extending states) and a generalized Gel'fand-Naimark-Segal representation is constructed.
