Proteomic Analysis of Whey from Bovine Colostrum and Mature Milk
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this study was to standardize a methodology to obtain two-dimensional (2D) maps of whey proteins from bovine colostrum and mature milk, using two-dimensional electrophoresis, in order to identify the minor proteins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI TOF/TOF MS). A total of 38 proteins were identified, 20 spots in the colostrum whey and 18 in the mature milk whey; 5 of them were identified for the first time.

A comparative study of milk serum proteins in camel (Camelus dromedarius) and bovine colostrum
Camel (Camelus dromedarius) whey proteins were detected and compared to bovine whey proteins using size exclusion chromatography columns on HPLC. Camel whey proteins such as serum albumin and a-lactalbumin appear to possess molecular weights similar to the respective bovine whey proteins. Camel whey lacks b-lactoglobulin and consists of large amount of serum albumin, compared to bovine whey. Ca...
متن کاملIsolation and properties of immune lactoglobulins from bovine whey.
It has already been reported that the principal protein of bovine colostrum is immune lactoglobulin, and a procedure has been described for the isolation of this protein (1). While the immune properties of colostrum have been generally recognized, it is widely believed that this is a specific quality of colostrum, and that immune properties are absent from the later milk or are present only in ...
متن کاملTime-Dependent Expression Profiles of microRNAs and mRNAs in Rat Milk Whey
Functional RNAs, such as microRNA (miRNA) and mRNA, are present in milk, but their roles are unknown. To clarify the roles of milk RNAs, further studies using experimental animals such as rats are needed. However, it is unclear whether rat milk also contains functional RNAs and what their time dependent expression profiles are. Thus, we prepared total RNA from whey isolated from rat milk collec...

Human breast milk is the ideal nutrition for the newborn, and in addition to its nutritional contribution, necessary for infant growth and development, it contains various immune bioactive factors that confer some of the numerous beneficial effects of breastfeeding. The current study analyzed the concentrations of IgA, growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF), TGFβ1, and TGFβ2, cyto...
متن کاملIdentification of the bovine α1-acid glycoprotein in colostrum and milk
α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) is an immunomodulatory protein expressed by hepatocytes in response to the systemic reaction that follows tissue damage caused by inflammation, infection or trauma. This paper presents the detection of bovine AGP (boAGP) in mammary secretions (colostrum and milk) and mammary gland tissue. Bovine AGP was detected by Western blotting in all the samples analysed, and cou...
