Data are related to the research article "Fractionation of casein micelles and immunoglobulins by microfiltration in diafiltration mode Study of the transmission and yield of IgG, IgA and IgM" [1]. The data show the transmission and yield of the individual whey proteins α-Lactalbumin (α-La), β -Lactoglobulin (β -Lg), blood serum albumin (BSA), lactoferrin (LF), lactoperoxidase (LPO) and the immunoglobulins IgG, IgA, IgM during microfiltration (0.14 μm) performed in diafiltration mode at 50 °C with different applied transmembrane pressures (0.6-3 bar). The data provide information on the decrease of the respective proteins in the microfiltration retentate and their increase in the UF retentate. The relevant analytical methods for the individual protein detection were performed by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography and ELISA. The isoelectric point of IgG and IgM was measured with the Zetasizer Nano ZS.

What is an Electrochemical Gradient?
The chemical gradient relies on differences in the abundance of a substance on the outside versus the inside of a cell and flows from areas of high to low ion concentration. In contrast, the electrical gradient revolves around an...

Electrochemical Gradient and Channel Proteins: An Overview
The electrical gradient: The electrical gradient across cell membranes refers to the difference in electric charge between the inside and outside of a cell. This difference drives the movement of ions towards or away from the cells. For instance, if the inside of the cell is more negatively charged relative to...
