Promoting Effect of Colostrum on the Phagocytic Activity of Bovine Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes in vitro

Abstract: Bovine colostrum contains a variety of essential nutrients, antibodies, cytokines, hormones, and growth factors that are important for nutrient supply, host defense, growth and for general neonatal adaptation. We have investigated the effect of bovine colostrum on the phagocytic activity for latex particles by normal peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes using flow cytometric analysis. The phagocytosis promoting effect was observed in colostrum. The promoting activity showed dose-dependent increase up … Show more

“…Background CPM are generally higher in MGL than in PBMC (Parmely et al, 1976;Concha et al, 1980;Nonnecke and Kehrli, 1985), as demonstrated in the current study. Specifically for CMC, this higher background CPM might be explained by the activating effects of colostrum on leukocytes (Sugisawa et al, 2001;Reber et al, 2006). Overall, MGL, both in cattle and in humans, seem not to react as strong as PBMC when confronted in vitro with mitogens and certain antigens (Parmely et al, 1976;Nonnecke and Harp, 1985;Park et al, 1993), as demonstrated in the present study for the mitogen ConA but not for the antigen TT.…”

“…These are considered as the first line of defense against foreign pathogens (Watzl et al, 2005). Oral administration of bovine colostrum is known to stimulate host non-specific immunity by increasing the systemic immune response or by modulating immunocompetent cell function (Sugisawa et al, 2001). In this study, the phagocytic activity of PBLs was enhanced in rats fed the FDOI diet compared to rats fed either the BD or the IOI diet.…”

“…Sugisawa et al (2001) found that the very high levels of immunoglobulins in colostrum increased the PA by up to 25%, and was dose dependent. PI was highest on day 1, indicating that the engulfment of foreign bodies was also highest at this time.…”
