Colostrum immune cells (as lymphocytes) and many antibodies such as IgA, IgG, and IgM. These are some of the components of the adaptive immune system. In preterm infants some IgA may be absorbed through the intestinal epithelium and enter the blood stream though there is very little uptake in full term babies. This is due to the early "closure" of the intestinal epithelium to large molecule uptake in humans unlike the case in cattle which continue to uptake immunoglobulin from milk shortly after birth. Other immune components of colostrum include the major components of the innate immune system, such as lactoferrin,
Invariant of a binary form the form itself of degree 1 and order 1. The algebra of invariants of the quadratic form "ax" + 2"bxy" + "cy" is a polynomial algebra in 1 variable generated by the discriminant "b" − "ac" of degree 2. The algebra of covariants is a polynomial algebra in 2 variables generated by the discriminant together with the form "f" itself (of degree 1 and order 2). The algebra of invariants of the cubic form "ax" + 3"bx""y" + 3"cxy" + "dy" is a polynomial algebra in 1 variable generated by the discriminant "D" = 3"b""c" + 6"abcd" − 4"b""d" −
