Abstract

Some physico-chemical properties of human and pig lactoferrins from milk and neutrophilic granulocytes were compared. It was shown that the lactoferrins from different cell and tissue sources of the same species (humans or pigs) are identical in terms of electrophoretic mobility, molecular weight, iron-binding capacity, absorbance spectra, amino acid and sugar compositions and peptide maps. Human and pig lactoferrins show a high degree of structural homology (approximately 50%), but are immunochemically different.
