  • Control of lactation
    Publication number: 20060178311
    Abstract: The present invention provides three novel peptides identified from cow's milk and further to compositions and methods containing the same for use in the modulation of the milk secretion rate of a lactating cell. Specifically, at least one of the peptides provided by the invention can be used to control milk secretion in lactating animals, including man. The present invention further extends to antibodies directed to the peptides of the invention, said antibodies also having utility in the modulation of milk secretion.

  • Control of milk secretion
    Patent number: 5721342
    Abstract: A protein which inhibits milk secretion by lactating goats has been isolated from milk by anion exchange of a defined whey fraction, optionally followed by chromatofocussing, and is defined by reference to peaks in which it is found, its molecular weight of 7.6 KDa and pI of 4.8.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 1995

    Assignee: British Technology Group Limited
    Inventors: Caroline Victoria Pauline Addey, Malcolm Peaker, Colin James Wilde
  • Control of secretion of milk
    Patent number: 5502163
    Abstract: A protein which inhibits milk secretion by lactating cows and which is present in the second (2A) significant peak when a nominally 10-30 KDa fraction of the whey proteins of the milk is resolved on a "Mono Q" anion exchange column using 10 mM imidazole buffer, pH 7.0 and a sodium chloride elution gradient. Its pI by isoelectric focussing in a gel tube is 4.8 to 5.0.
    Type: Grant

  • Control of milk secretion
    Patent number: 5496802
    Abstract: A protein which inhibits milk secretion by lactating cows and which is present in the eighth (6B, Figure) significant peak when a nominally 10-30 KDa fraction of the whey proteins of the milk is resolved on a "Mono Q" anion exchange column using 10 mM imidazole buffer, pH 7.0 and a sodium chloride elution gradient.
