Serum complement-like opsonic activities in human, animal, vegetable, and proprietary milks

ME Miller and RG Ganges

Human, animal, proprietary, and soy milks are comparable to human serum C5 in opsonization of baker's yeast. Bovine milk and human serum opsonically reconstitute C5-deficient mouse serum. Such reconstitution is selectively inhibited by antiserum to human C5. Further characterization suggests that bovine milk contains material structurally and functionally similar, but not identical, to human C5.
