(A) stool bovine IgG, (B) saliva human sIgA, and (C) serum human IgG. Data expressed are the mean change from baseline ± SD. #p < 0.05, compared with baseline. *p < 0.05, compared between the COL group and the PLA group. Abbreviations – COL, colostrum-containing dietary supplement product; IgG, immunoglobulin G; PLA, placebo; sIgA, secretory immunoglob ulin A.
Article Snippet: Commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were used, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, to assess levels of stool bovine IgG (FineTest, cat. EB0196, Wuhan, China), saliva human sIgA (Elabscience, cat. E-EL-H1275, Houston, TX, USA), serum human IgG (Elabscience, cat. E-UNELH0079), serum human IL-6 (Elabscience, cat. E-UNEL-H0097), TNF-α (Elabscience, cat. E-UNEL-H0175), and IL-10 (Elabscience, cat. E-UNELH0084).
