Preparation of Lactoferrin from a Tuberculosis free cow’s Colostrum

Abstract

COVID-19 is considered an ongoing international global health problem which already caused 219 million confirmed cases. No specific effective treatment has been identified so far, and available supportive therapies are intended just tosevere patients. Asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic patients remain a transmission reservoir, with possible evolution to the most severe disease form, without a clear treatment indication. Lactoferrin is an iron binding protein. Its main function is non immune protection. The main objective is to establish a standard protocol for isolation of lactoferrin. We have collected colostrum from a tuberculosis free cow. Then, we have performed SPC (Standard plate count) to check microbial load of colostrum. After extraction of lactoferrin, we have performed nanodrop technology for biochemical analysis of lactoferrin, which was 634.554mg/ml in colostrum.
