ResumoImmunoaffinity columns made with monoclonal antibodies to either human or bovine lactoferrins were prepared to isolate human lactoferrin or bovine lactoferrin from milks by a single chromatographic step. Recoveries of human lactoferrin and bovine lactoferrin were 98 and 97%, respectively. The human lactoferrin recovered from defatted human colostrum was 98% pure with 93% iron-binding capacity. Amount of recovered bovine lactoferrin, as well as purity and iron-binding capacity, varied widely depending on the source of bovine milks and pretreatments (particularly pasteurization temperature). The best source to isolate bovine lactoferrin was raw skim milk yielding a protein 97% pure and with a 99% iron-binding capacity. Thus, immunoaffinity chromatography provides an effective one-pass isolation of highly pure human or bovine lactoferrin with reasonable recovery and iron-binding capacity.
