含人乳鐵蛋白基因乳酸菌轉型株克弗爾粒之開發(1/2)

Lactoferrin (LF) is an iron-binding
glycoprotein of the transferrin family. The
biological properties of this protein include
the increasing the iron utilization in the
gastrointesteinal tract, antibacterial and
antioxidation. Gene engineering technology
is utilized to generate Lactobacillus casei
that contains human lactoferrin cDNA in
order to produce lactoferrin. The transgenic
Lactobacillus casei has been confirmed to
contain hLF .This Lactobacillus casei can be
incorporated into kefir to produe hLF. The
hLF transgene kefir grain has the functions of
improving human immune function and
enhancing the digestion and absorbtion in the
gastrointesteinanal tract.
