Many important events occur at birth. The fetus is suddenly removed from a protected intra-
uterine environment that is aquatic, warm, and nearly sterile, to the dry, cold external world …

Much progress has been achieved to elucidate the function of lactoferrin (LTF), an iron-
binding glycoprotein, in the milieu of immune functionality. This review represents a unique …

Lactoferrin (Lf), an iron-binding multifunctional glycoprotein belonging to the transferrin
family, is present in most biological secretions and reaches particularly high concentrations …

Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein present in large quantities in colostrum and in breast
milk, in external secretions and in polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Lactoferrin's main function …

Lactoferrin is an abundant iron-binding protein in milk. This 80 kDa bilobal glycoprotein is
also present in several other secreted bodily fluids, as well as in the secondary granules of …

Lactoferrin (Lf) is an iron-binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family, which is expressed in
most biological fluids with particularly high levels in mammalian milk. Its multiple activities lie …

Lactoferrin is a natural cationic iron-binding glycoprotein of the transferrin family found in
bovine milk and other exocrine secretions, including lacrimal fluid, saliva, and bile …

Abstract Significance: Lactoferrin (Lf) is a nonheme iron-binding glycoprotein strongly
expressed in human and bovine milk and it plays many functions during infancy such as iron …

Newborn infants are at a high risk for infection due to an under-developed immune system,
and human milk has been shown to exhibit substantial anti-infective properties that serve to …

Bovine lactoferrin (bLF), a naturally occurring glycoprotein found in milk, has bioactive
characteristics against many microbes, viruses, and other pathogens. Bovine lactoferrin …
