[Evidence of some antibacterial antibodies in human colostrum]

Abstract

Colostrum protective function is made through passive transport of preformed antibodies agains some bacterial species made in mother body. In this study by method of indirect immunofluorescence we determine presence of antibodies on three the most common bacterial species: E coli, Staphilococus aureus and beta-hemolitic streptococus in different colostrum dilution 1:32, 1:64, 1:128. Heterogenous intensity of immunofluorescence was obtained: from almost absence to very intensive, dependent of the different specific antibodies concentration in colostrum. Low antibodies concentration in colostrum can be the reason for insufficient passiv protection with a tendency of newborn to frequent infections. These investigation give us a lot of possibilites to protect newborns where decreased level of specific bacterial antibodies in colostrum was find.
