Bioactive Food Proteins and their Biological Functions

BIOACTIVE FOOD PROTEINS AND THEIR BIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS 

Whole casein and individual casein fractions and their derivatives have been shown to modulate lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. Carr et al. (1990) found that asl-casein can enhance the mitogen-stimulated proliferation of murine splenic T-lymphocytes, when induced in in vitro cell culture at a concentration of 10 6 M. Wong et al. (1996b) showed that (3-casein significantly enhances the mitogen-induced proliferation of ovine T- and B-lymphocytes in a dose-dependent manner, when added to in vitro cell culture. With K-casein, on the other hand, the opposite effect was found, as K-casein was suppressive for murine
