Isolation of a human lactoferrin biosimilar from frozen milk of goat producers

A Milk Protein Lactoferrin Enhances Human

The binding of human milk lactoferrin to immunoglobulin A.

It was recognized that in human milk some amounts of lactoferrin (LF) were naturally bound to secretory IgA (sIgA). Since not only secretory component (SC) but also LF was released from sIgA by disulfide bond cleavage, it is conceivable that LF is naturally bound to IgA as well as SC. An in vitro binding test to LF and IgA was performed and the binding was confirmed by the use of an IgA-Sepharo...

Isolation of mycobacteria from frozen fish destined for human consumption.

Mycobacteria were isolated from defrost water and tissue of sole (Solea solea), hake (Merluccius merluccius), cod (Gadus morhua), ling (Genypterus blacodes), and monkfish (Lophius piscatorius) on Löwenstein-Jensen medium after incubation at different temperatures. Samples of frozen fish were obtained under sterile conditions inside a refrigeration chamber (-18 to -22 degrees C) in a wholesale m...

The Identification of a Novel Peptide Derived from Lactoferrin Isolated from Camel Milk with Potential Antimicrobial Activity

Background and Objective: Antimicrobial peptides have attracted significant attention in recent decades because of their properties, such as rapid bactericidal effects, having a wide spectrum of activity, and a rare development of drug resistance. The purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial activity of a peptide derived from the lactoferrin isolated from camel milk against Staphy...

Extraction and Purification of Lactoferrin from Camel Milk and Investigation of Its Amylase Activity

 Background and purpose: Lactoferrin is found in mucus, milk, and colostrum secretions and has antimicrobial activities, improves iron absorption, and enhances immune responses. Lactoferrin has the ability to degrade starch. The aim of this study was to investigate the preservation of milk lactoferrin enzymatic activity after purification by ion exchange chromatography. Materials and methods: ...
