Lysozyme Content of Human Milk
@article{Chandan1964LysozymeCO, title={Lysozyme Content of Human Milk}, author={Ramesh C. Chandan and Khem M. Shahani and R G Holly}, journal={Nature}, year={1964}, volume={204}, pages={76-77} }
LYSOZYME has been detected in the milk of donkey, mare, bitch, sow and cow1,2. In order to investigate the possible biological significance of lysozyme an investigation is planned here to compare physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the lysozymes isolated from bovine and human milk. Although several workers1–4 have reported the presence of lysozyme in human milk and colostrum, not much work has been done to obtain information on the quantitative amounts of the enzyme in this…

Lysozyme Activity in Buffalo Milk: Effect of Lactation Period, Parity, Mastitis, Season in India, pH and Milk Processing Heat Treatment
- Biology

A better understanding of how mammary gland bioreactor systems can be applied to produce rHlys in other mammals, such as cattle will certainly permit a better understanding on the expression of recombinant human lysozyme.
Antimicrobial activity of lysozyme with special relevance to milk
- Biology
