Phaseproteine
Phaseproteins are proteins synthesized in animals by the gut microflora in response to colonisation of the gut by bacteria. They are generally small, heat-stable syndetope antigens that appear to be crucial for the onset of the phase of maternal immunotolerance. They are found in human breast milk, where they play a role in modulating the development of the infant's gastrointestinal system.
The discovery of these phase-proteins was first reported by Butler in 1951, who identified that extracts from
