Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the bactericidal domain of lactoferrin.
Wayne Robert Bellamy,Mitsunori Takase,Koji Yamauchi,Hiroyuki Wakabayashi,Kouzou Kawase,Mamoru Tomita +5 more
TL;DR: The studies suggest this domain is the structural region responsible for the bacterial properties of lactoferrin, having effectiveness against various Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria at concentrations between 0.3 microM and 3.0 microM, depending on the target strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial spectrum of lactoferricin B, a potent bactericidal peptide derived from the N-terminal region of bovine lactoferrin
TL;DR: Lactoferricin B was lethal, causing a rapid loss of colony-forming capability in most of the species tested, and Pseudomonas fluorescens, Enterococcus faecalis and Bifidobacterium bifidum strains were highly resistant to this peptide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potent antibacterial peptides generated by pepsin digestion of bovine lactoferrin.
Mamoru Tomita,Wayne Robert Bellamy,Mitsunori Takase,Koji Yamauchi,Hiroyuki Wakabayashi,Kouzou Kawase +5 more
TL;DR: The lactoferrin hydrolysate described in the present study has commercial value as a natural preservative agent for use in foods and cosmetics, and as a functional component of new clinical foods for prevention or treatment of gastrointestinal disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Killing of Candida albicans by lactoferricin B, a potent antimicrobial peptide derived from the N-terminal region of bovine lactoferrin
Wayne Robert Bellamy,Hiroyuki Wakabayashi,Mitsunori Takase,Kouzou Kawase,Seiichi Shimamura,Mamoru Tomita +5 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest that active peptides of lactoferrin could potentially contribute to the host defense against C. albicans and suggest the lethal effect of lactoferricin B results from its direct interaction with the cell surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review: the active peptide of lactoferrin.
TL;DR: The possibility that active peptides of lactoferrin may have a role in the host defense against microbial disease and if produced in substantial quantities in vivo such peptides could have important physiological significance, especially in nursing infants is suggested.
