How Talactoferrin alfa works
Oral talactoferrin stimulated the production of the immunostimulatory cytokine IL-18 in mice, increasing IL-18 levels both in the gut and in systemic circulation. Oral talactoferrin was also shown to stimulate the activity of NK cells and to increase the production and activity of key circulating immune cells.
