Transfer factors – the so-called signal immunoactive molecules – were discovered in 1949 by the American scientist Lawrence, and since then hundreds of scientific studies in the field of immunology have been carried out on the basis of this important discovery. The result of the work of scientists around the world has become a medical product, the principle of which is unique: Transfer Factor proves that immunity donation is the same reality as blood donation.
The basis of the drug is transfer factors of the same name, which are peptides consisting of forty-four amino acids. These peptides differ from previously known antibodies by a significantly lower molecular weight – from 3,5 to 10 thousand daltons, which facilitates their integration into the immune system. The main feature of transfer factors is that they act effectively, regardless of whether the donor and recipient are representatives of the same biological species. In other words, transfer factors derived from any mammal can help humans cope with disease.
How do transfer factors work?
Over more than half a century of scientific research in this area, it has been established that donor transfer factors regulate the activity of three types of immune cells in the human body:
T-killers;
T-suppressors;
Macrophages.
Transfer Factor, produced by the American company 4Life Research, is effective in a number of diseases associated with disorders of the immune system. Moreover, it is absolutely safe and hypoallergenic, since it contains only active cytokine fractions similar to human leukocyte cytokines. All potential allergens (casein, lactoglobulin) are completely removed from the preparation.
In our country, this medicine was carefully studied by Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences A.A. Vorobyov. The results of the research look encouraging: Transfer Factor does not give any side effects, is not addictive, has no contraindications and at the same time has a positive effect in the treatment of any diseases of the immune system. It can be safely recommended to patients of any age and at any stage of the disease. No undesirable effects from the combination of Transfer Factors with other drugs have also been identified.
Three active fractions of transfer factors
If we try to give Transfer Factor the most accurate definition, then it is better to call it not an immunomodulator, not an immunosuppressant, but an immunocorrector. The fact is that this drug is able to both activate and weaken the immune response in the human body, depending on what effect is really needed. As you know, most diseases develop either because the immune system cannot cope with them, or because it “overdid it” (autoimmune diseases).
A Transfer Factor contains three active fractions, thanks to which the desired result is always achieved:
Inductors;
Suppressors;
Antigen-specific transfer factors.
The first type of components is responsible for the speed of launching the immune response, that is, it brings our body into a state of combat readiness, so that when a threat arises, all forces are thrown into the fight against it without delay. Suppressors calm the rampant immunity and force it to “withdraw troops from the battlefield” in time, because if this is not done, another threat can take advantage of the absence of a regular army and strike in another place. Finally, antigen-specific transfer factors, which gave the drug its name, are a ready-to-use set of cytokines and antigens that can cope with almost any infection.
Transfer Factor allows a person to do the seemingly impossible – to take control of the immune system into their own hands. The active components of this drug, on the one hand, provide an adequate response of immune cells to an external threat, and on the other hand, accelerate the process of recognizing the infection and presenting it to all immunocompetent cells. The faster our T-lymphocytes get acquainted with foreign antigens, the faster antibodies to them will be developed, and the body’s fight against the disease will begin.
The unique benefits of transfer factors
Transfer factors have a number of advantages over other active substances used by medicine to regulate the immune system:
The widest spectrum of action and the largest list of diseases that can be treated;
Complete absence of contraindications and side effects;
Increased activity of macrophage cells responsible for the recognition of hostile antibodies and acceleration of macrophage reactions;
A whole set of ready-to-work antigens and cytokines;
Prevention of disproportionate and inadequate reactions of the immune system and the fight against existing failures.
As an example of the work of macrophages, one can cite Peyer’s patches located on the inner surface of the human intestine. Macrophages are constantly synthesized there, thanks to which our body receives protection from infections that come with food. In the process of digestion, macrophages recognize and destroy harmful bacteria, and also transmit information about them (a special protein code) to T-lymphocytes. Those, in turn, trigger the production of antibodies so that the body acquires a weapon against this threat for the future. So the drug Transfer Factor, among other things, activates macrophages, accelerates the process of recognizing and destroying the infection and preparing the immune system for a possible future meeting with it.
History of drug development
The first transfer factors we get in infancy with mother’s milk. This is the natural donation of immunity. Any obstetrician-gynecologist seeks to give a woman in labor the opportunity to attach the baby to the breast immediately after childbirth, since the hormones and immune fractions contained in colostrum are priceless. A mother can provide this help to her child only from the first days after birth, and if the opportunity is missed, it will never be possible to make up for the loss.
Colostrum contains a ready-made set of antibodies to all infections that the mother has encountered in her life. And this allows us to hope that the baby will be protected from most potential threats. Even if, fortunately, he does not encounter them immediately, his immune system will get acquainted with possible enemies and be able to cope with many diseases in the future. The adage “it’s better to learn from the mistakes of others than to get your own bumps on” may be the best leitmotif of this process.
For more than 60 years, man has known about transfer factors, and during this time about forty million dollars have been spent on their comprehensive study. About three thousand scientific papers have been published by scientists around the world, and eleven international symposiums have already taken place. But this is not the limit – research continues, so we can hope that even more benefits will be extracted from this discovery in the future.
It would be a mistake to assume that transfer factors are relevant only in the case of weakened immunity or autoimmune diseases. Try to name a pathology, in the development or fight against which immune cells would not be involved in one way or another. It is unlikely that you will succeed. Everything from allergies to oncology is affected by transfer factors in one way or another. And this means that the study of these substances will be relevant for many years to come.
At the latest international symposium on transfer factors, scientists from several countries presented the results of large-scale studies, including those conducted using the American drug Transfer Factor of the same name. The list of diseases in the treatment of which this medicine has shown excellent results is very impressive: malignant tumors, allergies, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and many others.
It is also noteworthy that Transfer Factor is effective at any stage of the disease – it helped both people with minor health problems and seriously ill patients, bedridden and almost devoid of hope for recovery. The safety and versatility of the drug were especially noted – not a single case of side effects or adverse reactions to the combined use of Transfer Factor with other drugs (taktivin, immunal, myelopid, thymogen) was registered.
Scientific test results
The 4Life Research company produces two types of immunocorrective drugs: Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus (with the addition of adaptogens). Tests showed that the first drug increased the activity of killer T cells by about 103%, and the second by as much as 243%. No other immunomodulator known to science gives such results.
Professors E. O. Khalturina and M. V. Kiselev also tested American drugs at the Russian Cancer Center. They studied the effect of transfer factors on the blood of donors. It has been established that the drugs significantly enhance the cytotoxic and antitumor activity of mononuclear immune cells, and the drugs work best not alone, but together, either in a ratio of 70:30 or 50:50 Transfer Factor and Transfer Factor Plus. The combination of drugs allows you to activate the work of immune cells not by 18%, but by 80-99%. For comparison, interleukin-2, a unique substance produced by our body, has the same cytotoxic and antitumor effect, but, alas, in insufficient quantities to defeat cancer.
Composition and form of release
Transfer Factor is synthesized from bovine colostrum, and Transfer Factor plus, in addition, contains a number of additional active ingredients:
Zinc monomethionine;
soybean phytosterols;
Inositol hexaphosphate;
D beta-glucan;
Cordyceps sinensis;
Extract of lemon, aloe and oats;
Olive leaves;

These components enhance the effect of the drug and add to it general strengthening properties. Both drugs are available in the form of gelatin capsules packed in plastic sealed containers.
Reviews of doctors about the drug Transfer Factor
Viktor Alexandrovich Tutelyan, Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Director of the Institute of Nutrition:
Transfer Factor is one of the most important and promising developments in the field of medicine over the past half century.
Alexey Ivanovich Egorov, infectious disease specialist, candidate of medical sciences:
For many years I myself suffered from allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, and complained of a reduced sense of smell. Having learned about the Transfer Factor drug, I decided to test it on myself, because I knew very well that my sores are of an allergic nature, which means that they should be treated with transfer factors.
I can not say that the drug acts quickly. It took me about three months to achieve a lasting positive effect, but now I feel good – nasal breathing is free, sleep is sound, there were no recurrences of sinusitis, and my sense of smell has returned. It’s such a joy to smell again!
In addition, I can say that last year, while on vacation, I climbed the top of Elbrus in the company of a friend who had suffered a transmural myocardial infarction three times. How did he decide on such an adventure? On my advice, I took Transfer Factor for several months!
Alexey Yaroslavovich Chizhov, Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Honored Worker of Science of the Russian Federation:
I have been suffering from hypertension for a long time, and I have not tried any drugs over the years. On the recommendation of a colleague, I purchased Transfer Factor. There was not much hope for success, because usually, the more hype around the drug, the less sense from it. I drink one month – the result is zero, I drink two months – the result is zero. I already wanted to quit this venture, but a colleague asked me:
“Listen, how long have you been taking your prescribed medication for high blood pressure?”
– Well, for six months … And some for years.
– And what, help?
– Not all at once. (As a doctor, I understand that hypertensive patients will have to take such drugs all their lives)
— Well, you want Transfer Factor to give you a fantastic result in a couple of months.
I continued taking the drug, and after about nine months, the pressure gradually returned to normal! Now my upper blood pressure never rises above 140, despite the fact that I do not drink any other drugs.
