Description
^~ Milk co~tains one or more proteins o~ ~he globulin group although the amount present is usually quite sm~ll. The globulin group is generally considered to be comprised of lactoglobulin or beta lactoglobulin. The globulin of milk is very important. Under certain conditions it enables a mother to transmit immunity toward certain infections to her suckling.
' This takes place during the first 2 or 3 days of the young ani-~ malls life.
- During the first few days of lactation, the secretion of the mammary gland differs a great deal from that of normal milk. The secretion is called colostrum. The first colostrum is very rich in glcbulin and fills the special needs of the newborn animal. Among these is a need for globulin, for the blood of the newborn of many species contains much less that the normal amount of this protein. Colostrum is an important source of antibodies for the newborn. The antibodies may either be the globulins themselves or are associated with the globulins.
Colostrum is generally believed to be important in the case of .. ..
the cow, goat, sheep, pig and mare.
As previously stated, colostrum milk has been shown to be an important factor in the resistance of infectuous diseases ,~ in the young newborn which was nature's purpose for providing ,; colostrum milk. The antibodies found in colostrum milk help the ,; newborn fight diseases as well as protect them from future infection through immunal responses. It has also been found that a cow can be stimulated to produce certain antibodies to bacteria by injecting the cow before calving with antigens to the anti-bodies desired. Further, it has been found that a cow which has been subjected to many diseases during its lifetime will also ;' 30 have produced certain antibodies. When the cow calves, the first milk produced by the cow will contain antibodies to the stimulants :
: as well as the normal environmental antibodies present in the .` ':
i' ! -2-'~
9(~6 mammalory.
The colostrum milk is collected and the antibodies are removed therefrom and are manufactured into an injectible solution ~.,j ;~1 which may also be used orally to benefit other animals which may be subjected to the diseases which the particular antibodies are peculiar to. -Assuming that the cow has either been injected with cer-tain antigens or that the cow simply has the normally occurring antibodies in the colostrum milk, the colostrum milk is collected 1~ 10 after calving. Preferably, the colostrum milk is collected and :~ frozen until a suitable quantity has been collected to enable the process to be carried out. The freezing of the colostrum milk also aids in subsequent removal of the fat from the colostrum milk. Examples I and II are two examples wherein the antibodies were recovered from the colostrum milk. Example I is the preferred ~ process of recovering the antibodies while Example II is an alter-';.i : .
,;¦ nate method for recovering the antibodies.
., ,i EXAMPLE I (PREFERRED ) The colostrum milk is collected and frozen. The milk is defatted by partially thawing the frozen milk and skimming the top liquid therefrom. Irhe remaining milk is then completely ~ ,, '. ~ thawed and centrifugally separated to remove as much of the remain-ing fat as possible, The defatted colostrum milk is then precipitated by add-,' ing 1.5 mg of CaC12 per liter of milk and by adding one tablet ;` (1.5 gram) of commercially available rennin per liter of milk.
The mi~ture is then thoroughly stirred. The solution is then heated to 20-80C and again stirred. The solution is permitted to ,.,~
. stand for 2-5 hours and the casein in the solution is then removed by filtration. The resultant solution is termed "bovine colosteral ~7 ., - - ~ ., , . . , -7~6 /
whey".
The whey is then dialyzed against tap water at 47F with saline added for approximately 96 tG 120 hours. The pH o~ the dialysate is adjusted to 4.0 to 4.5 with acetic acid. The whey is then precipitated by placin~ the same in vats having a controlled temperature of 35-65F. The supernatant is siphoned off and cen-trifu~ed. The supernatant is then clarified by filtration. The titre of the solution is determined in conventional fashion and a water, saline and 0.3~ Phenol mixture is added to make a final bovine IGG concentration of lOOmg~.
The solution is then passed through a water sterilizer (ultraviolet) and placed in sterile 250 mg bottles and capped in ultraviolet light. The product is then ready for use.
