Summary, etc. <p class="Abstract" style="text-align: justify;">A new biological cross-linker, microbial transglutaminase (mTGase), has been used to catalyze the immobilization of lactoferrin onto the wool fabrics, and the antibacterial properties of immobilized wool on both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria are studied. It is found that the minimal inhibitory concentration of lactoferrin against <em>S·aureus</em> and <em>E·coli</em> is 0.5mg/mL and 0.25mg/mL respectively. As compared to the control sample, the amount of lactoferrin adhered onto the wool fabric improves from 4.87 mg<sup>.</sup>(g fabric)<sup>-1</sup> to 12.96 mg<sup>.</sup>(g fabric)<sup>-1</sup>, indicating that the crosslinking reaction initiated by mTGase can increase the amount of lactoferrin fixed onto wool fabric obviously. The ratios of bacteriostasis to <em>S.aureus</em> and <em>E.coli</em> of wool fabrics immobilized with lactoferrin are bound to be 57.95% and 69.96% respectively, showing good antibacterial property.</p>
