More Lactoferrin from WikiPedia
Lactoferrin acts, mostly in vitro, on a wide range of human and animal viruses based on DNA and RNA genomes,[27] including the herpes simplex virus 1 and 2,[28][29] cytomegalovirus,[30] HIV,[29][31] hepatitis C virus,[32][33] hantaviruses, rotaviruses, poliovirus type 1,[34] human respiratory syncytial virus and murine leukemia viruses.[26]
The most studied mechanism of antiviral activity of lactoferrin is its diversion of virus particles from the target cells. Many viruses tend to bind to the lipoproteins of the cell membranes and then penetrate into the cell.[33] Lactoferrin binds to the same lipoproteins thereby repelling the virus particles. Iron-free apolactoferrin is more efficient in this function than hololactoferrin; and lactoferricin, which is responsible for antimicrobial properties of lactoferrin, shows almost no antiviral activity.[27]
Beside interacting with the cell walls, lactoferrin also directly binds to viral particles, such as the hepatitis viruses.[33] This mechanism is also confirmed by the antiviral activity of lactoferrin against rotaviruses,[26] which act on different cell types.
Lactoferrin also suppresses virus replication after the virus penetrated into the cell.[26][31] Such an indirect antiviral effect is achieved by affecting natural killer cells, granulocytes and macrophages – cells, which play a crucial role in the early stages of viral infections, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).[35]
