Preferred Label : Human Lysozyme-containing Goat Milk;
NCIt synonyms : Human Lysozyme Goat Milk;
NCIt definition : A preparation of human lysozyme-containing goat milk produced by goats that have been
genetically engineered to produce human lysozyme in the milk, which may potentially
be used for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). Upon administration
of human lysozyme-containing goat milk, the human lysozyme, which acts as an antimicrobial,
may promote the growth of beneficial bacteria while preventing the growth of pathogenic
bacteria in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This may prevent GvHD, which has been
associated with the loss of microbial diversity in the GI tract and changes in the
gut microbiota. Human lysozyme is an enzyme naturally present in human milk.;
