C<sub>14</sub><sub>2</sub> Complement Activity and Conglutinogen in Bovine Milk

Abstract

Bovine milk, derived from uninflamed glands in mid-lactation, is shown to contain the complement components of the classical pathway up to C3. Using functional tests, C142 activity and conglutinogenic activity can be demonstrated in undiluted whey. Conglutinin is rarely found in normal milk.
