Proteolytic activity of bovine lactoferrin [PDF]

, 2004
Bovine lactoferrin catalyzes the hydrolysis of synthetic substrates (i.e., Z-aminoacyl-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin). Values of Km and kcat for the bovine lactoferrin catalyzed hydrolysis of Z-Phe-Arg-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin are 50 μM and 0.03 s−1 ...

A Review: Development of a Synthetic Lactoferrin Biological System

BioDesign Research
Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein with antibacterial, antitumor, and immunomodulatory functions derived from milk and mucosal secretions. Lactoferrin is used in various products, such as infant formula milk powder, nutritional supplements, and ...

Analysis of Susceptibility to the Antimicrobial and Anti-Biofilm Activity of Human Milk Lactoferrin in Clinical Strains of Streptococcus agalactiae With Diverse Capsular and Sequence Types

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is one of the leading infection-related causes of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. This includes chorioamnionitis, which leads to preterm ruptures of membranes and can ultimately result in preterm or stillbirth ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Antiviral Resistance of Splenocytes in Aged Mice [PDF]

Polish Journal of Microbiology, 2017
We compared the susceptibility to viral infection of splenocytes, isolated from young versus old CBA mice, and evaluated the antiviral actions of lactoferrin in splenocytes infected with Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV).

Bioactivity in Whey Proteins Influencing Energy Balance [PDF]

, 2012
Peer-reviewedObesity develops due to energy (food) intake exceeding energy expenditure. Nutrients that reduce the positive energy balance are thus being considered as therapies to combat obesity.

Lactoferrin-Immobilized Surfaces onto Functionalized PLA Assisted by the Gamma-Rays and Nitrogen Plasma to Create Materials with Multifunctional Properties

, 2016
Both cold nitrogen radiofrequency plasma and gamma irradiation have been applied to activate and functionalize the polylactic acid (PLA) surface and the subsequent lactoferrin immobilization.

Polysialic Acid Modulates the Binding of External Lactoferrin in Neutrophil Extracellular Traps

Biology, 2019
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are formed by neutrophils during inflammation. Among other things, these DNA constructs consist of antimicrobial proteins such as lactoferrin and histones.

Peripheral Neutrophil Activation and Extracellular Trap Formation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Markers of neutrophil activation are increased in plasma during ALS, and markers of NET formation associate with ALS survival. ABSTRACT Objectives Peripheral neutrophil levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) inversely correlate with survival, suggesting a role for neutrophils in disease progression.

Lactoferrin content in bovine milk: Validation of radial immunodiffusion method and predictive ability of mid-infrared spectroscopy

, 2022
reservedLactoferrin (LF) is an iron-binding globular glycoprotein, responsible for the iron transfer through the bowel and for the regulation of the quantity being absorbed by it.
