METHODS OF ANALYSIS--HUMAN COLOSTRUM AND MILK

母乳中免疫成分的定量方法， 为了评估这些组件的潜在 改善婴儿健康。 该项目的总体目标是 开发技术，以准确和快速地分析浓度， 某些免疫蛋白与非蛋白氮的相互作用 母乳中的成分。 具体来说，他们将开发一组单克隆抗体， 母乳中的几种公认的免疫因子， 先前未识别或未测量的宿主亚种和复合体 防御因素。 他们还将开发分离的方法， 低分子量硫的鉴定和定量 含有人乳中的化合物。

Methods quantitating the immunologic components of human milk are greatly needed in order to evaluate these components with respect to potential improvements in infant health. The overall goal of this project is to develop techniques to accurately and rapidly analyze the concentrations and interactions of certain immunologic proteins and non-protein nitrogen components in human milk. Specifically, they will develop a panel of monoclonal antibodies against several of the recognized immunologic factors in human milk and against previously unrecognized or unmeasured subspecies and complexes of the host defense factors. They also will develop of methods for separation, identification, and quantification of low molecular weight sulfur containing compounds in human milk.
