Welcome to TFVET.com a research information site verifying our good results with the use of Transfer Factor. Go to www.TransferFactorResearch.com for more information about this great product. There are over 3,000 published papers and 50 years of research on transfer factors.

What are Transfer Factors?

Transfer Factors are naturally occurring immune active proteins known as Lymphokines.
Lymphokines are immune messengers between white blood cells
• Activate Macrophages
• Cause Lymphocytes to Transform
• Activate Cell Medicated Immunity

Interferon and interleukins are examples of Lymhokines.

How was Transfer Factor discovered?

In 1949 Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence was working on tuberculosis. He was trying to transfer protection from a recovered patient to a naive recipient without using whole blood transfusions. He broke open lymphocytes and separated the contents of the cells into various size fractions. He found a fraction of small molecules that would transfer tuberculin immunity to a naive recipient.
He called it Transfer Factor.

The extraction process was developed in 1989 but was too expensive for commercial use until new techniques were developed in 1998. It was discovered that Transfer Factors are deposited in colostrum by blood leukocytes. Without undergoing any transforming. What is in the blood is in the colostrum.

Transfer Factor is not a single entity, it is a complex mixture containing separate fractions.
•One fraction provides antigenic recognition.
•One fraction strengthens Natural Killer Cells in their attack on cells that are abnormal
•One fraction improves immune regulation in response to environmental stimuli such as pollen, dander, dust etc. .

To be effective the Immune System needs to:
•recognize a problem
•attack the problem
•stop attacking when the problem is over
•remember how to recognize the problem next time

Immune System Defenses are Humeral and Cellular
Humeral System
B lymphocytes in the liver, spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow
Produce plasma cells which produce antibodies
Designed to fight bacterial infections

Cellular Immunity
• Lymphocytes from the thymus
• Defend against viruses, fungi, cancer

NK Cells
• lethal lymphocytes containing granules filled with potent chemicals.
• do not need to recognize a particular antigen but rather attack "nonself".
• protect against tumor cells and a wide variety of infectious microbes, particularly virally infected cells.
• kill by binding to their targets and delivering a lethal burst of chemicals

Researchers have found that stomach acids do not degrade transfer factors that are consumed orally. No negative side effects were observed even with massive doses.

Lactose intolerance (milk allergy) is a fact of life. Colostrum contains lactose. Transfer Factor does not.

Each and every batch of Transfer Factor™ is tested by an independent laboratory with established, documented credentials in assessing for transfer factor activity.

"Transfer factors have turned out to be the most effective and versatile products I have ever used in my 32-year veterinary practice.”Steven Slagle, DVM:
