Abstract excerpt

Lactotransferrin (LTF) is a component of the nonspecific immune system, having antimicrobial properties against bacteria, fungi, and several viruses. The gene coding for LTF is polymorphic, with the occurrence of several common alleles in the general population. Our previous study found that LTF inhibited nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. To better understand one possible...
