Lactoferrin from Human Neutrophils available from Lee Biosolutions

August 23, 2006; St. Louis, Missouri – Lee Biosolutions is now offering lactoferrin from human neutrophils to the clinical research community for use in a variety of laboratory studies.

Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein found in milk, tears, mucus and bile, as well as neutrophils. The protein has been shown in research to be a natural antioxidant, antibiotic, anti-fungal, antiviral, and immune booster.

Research regarding lactoferrin has found that its levels in urine can accurately diagnose urinary tract infection in humans. The protein has also been tested, in a number of bodily fluids, as a marker of neutrophilic inflammation. Lactoferrin is also being studied to identify its role in fighting against various infections and inflammations.

According to Lee Biosolutions President Burton Lee, lactoferrin is the latest in a number of products the company is featuring. Lee Biosolutions is committed to providing premium biomaterial products that researchers can rely on.

“We’re obviously not the only biomaterials provider out there,” Lee said. “So we’ve made a conscious effort to set ourselves apart as the premium provider by focusing on the 3 most important areas in our industry- purity, consistency and service.”

Lee Biosolutions is currently developing a matching affinity purified polyclonal antibody for human lactoferrin from neutrophils, and plans to have the product available by October.

Lee Biosolutions has become a leader in the industry by providing the high quality products to clinical labs and researchers around the world, developing tomorrow’s cures.
