Abstract
This study evaluated an automated immunoassay for bovine lactoferrin (LF) in dairy products based on latex beads coated with F(ab')2 fragments.
Methods: F(ab')2 fragments were obtained by pepsin digestion of rabbit anti-bovine LF (IgG fraction) and polystyrene latex beads were coated with the F(ab')2 fragments. We used the beads to develop a rapid and homogeneous light scatter immunoassay employing an autoanalyzer (the Automated Latex assay). The Automated Latex assay was easy to perform and could rapidly determine bovine lactoferrin in lactoferrin-supplemented products. It was sensitive enough for testing products and showed good precision.
