Popis: sIgALACTOFERRIN LEVEL IN BREAST MILK Breast milk offers innumerable immunological components that are important for reduction of infant morbidity and mortality. Breast milk protects against infections in breastfed newborns mainly via secretory IgA (sIgA) antibodies, but also most likely via several other factors such as the bactericidal lactoferrin. The purpose of this article is to determine the levels of sIgA and lactoferrin of breast milk from Indonesian women in Pandeglang. sIgA and lactoferrin in breast milk were measured crosssectionally in postpartum women between lactation days 14 -28 using ELISA. Results showed that the mean level of sIgA from 137 breast milk samples was 2.11 ± 3.5 mg/ml and that of lactoferrin from 138 samples was 3.73±4.05 mg/ml. The mean levels of sIgA and lactoferrin in this group are lower when compared with other published values. Keywords : breast milk, secretory IgA (sIgA), lactoferrin
