Abstract: In the present study, the immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities of the recombinant human lactoferrin (rhLF) were studied. The antioxidant activities of rhLF were investigated by DPPH, ABTS and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities and the immunomodulatory activities were determined by the detection of cell proliferation and phagocytic activity of RAW264.7. It turns out that rhLF exhibited scavenging activity against DPPH, ABTS and OH· radical as well as immunomodulatory activities. rhLF possessed excellent antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities, and was the important resource of the exploitation of health-care food.

Key words: recombinant human lactoferrin, antioxidant activity, immunomodulatory activity
