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,
Blake canonical form Blake canonical form In Boolean logic, a formula for a Boolean function "f" is in Blake canonical form (BCF), also called the complete sum of prime implicants, the complete sum, or the disjunctive prime form, when it is a disjunction of all the prime implicants of "f". The Blake canonical form is a disjunctive normal form. The Blake canonical form is not necessarily minimal, however all the terms of a minimal sum are contained in the Blake canonical form. It was introduced in 1937 by Archie Blake, who called it the "simplified canonical form"; it was named in honor of
