Abstract
The major growth factors in bovine colostrum are transforming growth factor-beta s (TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta 2) and insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1 and IGF-2). Recently, TGF-beta 2 content of bovine colostrum was measured using a TGF-beta 2 specific ELISA (1) and now we have validated ELISAs for for bovine TGF-beta 1 and IGF-1. The concentrations of IGF-1 and TGF-beta 1 in the first milking after calving were 248-1850 ng/ml and 12.4-42.6 ng/ml, respectively, and they declined in correlation with total protein concentration to 27.0-101 ng/ml (IGF-1) and 0.80-3.49 ng/ml(TGF-beta 1) by the fifth milkings. The amount of TGF-beta 1 was on average 5.3 +/- 1.4% of that of TGF-beta 2 and there is a high correlation (r = 0.966) between the concentrations of these growth factors in the same samples. No free TGF-beta 1 form of could be detected.
