This prevents the successful colonization of the gut, which would otherwise lead to bacteria releasing enterotoxigenic materials. These small immune signaling peptides (PRPs) were independently discovered in colostrum and other sources, such as blood plasma, in the United States, Czechoslovakia and Poland. Hence they appear under various names in the
