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,
Sesquilinear form to is Similarly, is orthogonal to with respect to , written (or simply if can be inferred from the context), when . This relation need not be symmetric, i.e. does not imply (but see "" below). A sesquilinear form is reflexive if, for all , That is, a sesquilinear form is reflexive precisely when the derived orthogonality relation is symmetric. A -sesquilinear form is called -Hermitian if there exists such that, for all , If , the form is called -"Hermitian", and if , it is called -"anti-Hermitian". (When is implied, respectively simply "Hermitian" or "anti-Hermitian".) For a nonzero -Hermitian
