Serum APPs (transferrin, alpha-2 macroglobulin and haptoglobin) were estimated by single radial immunodiffusion method of Fahey and McKelvey(1965) as modified by Salimonu and co-workers(1978).
Gonias S.L., Carmicheal A., Mettenburg J.M. Roadcap D.W., Irvin W.P. and Webb D.J. Identical or overlapping sequences in the primary structure of human alpha-2 macroglobulin are responsible for the binding of nerve growth factor-beta, platelet-derived growth factor-BB, and transforming growth factor-beta.
The significantly high serum haptoglobin level observed in non-pregnant subjects with USS is in line with earlier observations by Arinola and Salimonu (1998b) whose study considered primary school children with USS.

 Colostrum - Rational Wellness Therapy - Nu-gen Nutrition
For example, human colostrum contains 2% of IgG while cow colostrum contains 86% of IgG, the most important of the immuno-globulins found in the body.
Life Sources’ Alpha Factor is produced in an FDA approved facility and has been assayed at 15+% IgG as opposed to some colostrum products that assay at less than 7%.
If viruses are involved in either the initiation or the spread of cancer, colostrum could prove to be one of the best ways to prevent the disease in the first place.
