Bovine colostrum whey to release bioactive glycans

Abstract: EndoBI-1 is a recently isolated endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase, which cleaves the N-N′-diacetyl chitobiose moiety found in the N-glycan core of high mannose, hybrid and complex N-glycans. These N-glycans have selective prebiotic activity for a key infant gut microbe, Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis. The broad specificity of EndoBI-1 suggests the enzyme may…

Colostrum alleviates immune mediated colitis

Background: Gut-derived bacterial endotoxin is an important cofactor in the pathogenesis of IBD. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are essential for maintenance of peripheral tolerance and can prevent and alleviate IBD. To determine the immune modulatory effect of anti-LPS enriched hyperimmune colostrum, its ability to induce Tregs and alleviate immune mediated…

Bovine Colostrum Supplementation:Salivary IgA

Bovine Colostrum Supplementation:Secretory IgA in saliva (s-IgA) is a potential mucosal immune correlate of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) status. Nutritional supplements may improve mucosal immunity, and could be beneficial to athletes who are at increased risk of URTI. In this study, 35 distance runners (15 female, 20 male, age…

Bovine Colostrum and Murine Lymphoma Cells

DISCUSSION: Bovine Colostrum and Murine Lymphoma Cells UDP-Ga1NAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase purified to homogeneity from bovine colostrum is a monomer of approximately 70,000 daltons as determined by both SDS-PAGE and gel filtration chromatography. An antibody raised against the purified 70,000-dalton enzyme precipitates the enzyme activity as well as the radiolabeled protein. The difference…
