Receptors for lactoferrin are found in intestinal tissue, on some bacteria, and on immune system cells such as monocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophils. Lactoferrin is involved in the growth and differentiation of T lymphocytes, and the regulation of cytokines and lymphokines, such as tumor necrosis-alpha and interleukin-6.* Because free iron can generate reactive oxygen species via the Fenton reaction, lactoferrin’s iron-binding properties also make it a powerful antioxidant.
Lysozyme is an enzyme found in tears, saliva, egg whites and in the lysomes of phagocytic cells. It can hydrolyze the 1,4-beta links between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine, thus cleaving an important polymer of the cell wall of many bacteria.
