Several elements in colostrum and human milk, including antibodies and nonspecific factors with bactericidal and antiviral activity, may play an important anti-infectious and protective role. In developing countries, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli(ETEC) is the main etiological agent of diarrhea in low-socioeconomic level children. In the present work, we studied the functional activity of mononuclear (MN) and polymorphonuclear (PMN) phagocytes of human colostrum against ETEC, as well as the interactions between these cells and colostral or serum opsonins. |
