Preparing metal ion-lactoferrin comprising contacting a lactoferrin source with a lactoferrin-binding matrix, contacting the immobilised lactoferrin with a source of metal ions to produce metal ion-lactoferrin

摘要

Disclosed is a process for preparing a metal ion-lactoferrin complex comprising contacting a lactoferrin source with a lactoferrin-binding matrix to immobilise the lactoferrin in the matrix contacting the immobilised lactoferrin with a source of metal ions to produce metal ion-lactoferrin and recovering the metal ion-lactoferrin from the matrix. This is preferably done over a column, immobilising the lactoferrin in the matrix thereof.
