Publisher Summary This chapter considers both the structure and function of α-lactalbumin
and lysozyme in relation to each other, and also the potential significance of the studies in …

Lysozyme is ubiquitous in a variety of tissues and secretions. Chick-type (c-type) lysozymes
lyse the cell walls of certain bacteria. In contrast, alpha-lactalbumin appears to occur only in …

The syntheses and secretion of casein and α-lactalbumin were examined in organ culture of
midpregnancy mouse mammary glands using serum-free medium supplemented with …

Mammary glands from second generation vitamin D-deficient mice and rats were examined
for their ability to make the major milk proteins, casein and a-lactalbumin, both in vivo and in …

A simple procedure for the immunocytochemical analysis of glutaraldehyde/formaldehyde-
fixed, Araldite-or Epon-embedded tissues by either light or electron microscopy is presented …

Experimentally induced breast cancer is often preceded by the appearance of preneoplastic
lesions which possess the attributes of hyperplastic normal tissue. These lesions can be …

a-Lactalbumin was isolated from milk of M. eugenii and its concentration in milk samples
taken at various times during lactation (0-40 we. eks post partum) was determined by single …

A new purification scheme for both prolactin and growth hormone from bovine pituitaries has
been developed which avoids the use of potentially damaging solution conditions. Both …

Glucosidase I involved in the processing of N-linked glycoproteins was purified to
homogeneity from the lactating rat mammary gland. The purified enzyme exhibited a single …

Explants from mammary glands of virgin rats and pregnant rats and mice were cultured
under serum-free conditions in the presence of various combinations of the hormones …
