| Research Abstract |
We suggest a hypothetical model in which anti-bacterial protein lactoferrin (LF), which is ingested as a component of milk, and intestinal protein, intelectin, bind and cooperate to regulate primary intestinal flora development in the infant digestive tract. This study validated this hypothesis and obtained following results. 1) Intelectin partially localized in some specific cellular compartments and affected LF intake by the cultured intestinal epithelial cells. 2) Intelectin and LF differently promoted growth of some Bifidobacterium lines. 3) To analyze interaction between intestinal epithelia and microbes in the culture system, several cell lines with the various characters were isolated from heterogenous HT29 cell line.
