Bovine Lactoferrin ELISA Kit
The **Bovine Lactoferrin ELISA Kit** is designed to quantitatively measure lactoferrin, an iron-binding glycoprotein primarily found in bovine milk, colostrum, and other secretions. Lactoferrin plays a critical role in innate immunity by sequestering free iron, which inhibits bacterial growth, and by exhibiting direct antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities. Its levels can reflect the nutritional quality of milk and the immune status of the producing animal, making it a key biomarker in both dairy science and immunology research.
In **research settings**, this ELISA kit is widely used to study lactoferrin’s antimicrobial properties, its role in modulating immune responses, and its effects on gut health and microbiota. Researchers employ it to monitor lactoferrin expression in milk or colostrum under varying physiological conditions, nutritional interventions, or infection challenges. It is also used in studies evaluating lactoferrin-enriched formulations, nutraceuticals, and functional foods for their biological activity and health-promoting properties.
In **preclinical and veterinary applications**, bovine lactoferrin measurement can help assess udder health, mastitis status, and overall dairy herd immunity. Clinically, while not a standard diagnostic tool for humans, bovine lactoferrin is used in translational research to explore its potential therapeutic and prophylactic roles in infections, inflammation, and gut health. Monitoring lactoferrin levels supports product quality control in dairy and pharmaceutical industries, ensuring the efficacy of lactoferrin-enriched products.
This Bovine Lactoferrin ELISA Kit is manufactured in USA by Eagle Biosciences.
