    Summary: "The so-called knowledge advantage is a fallacy - even though companies pour billions of dollars into training programs, consultants, and executive education. The reason is not that knowledge isn't important. It's that most companies know, or can know, the same things. Moreover, even as companies talk about the importance of learning, intellectual capital, and knowledge management, they frequently fail to take the vital next step of transforming knowledge into action. The Knowing-Doing Gap confronts the paradox of companies that know too much and do too little by showing how some companies are successful at turning knowledge into action."--Jacket. "Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton, identify the causes of the knowing-doing gap and explain how to close it."--Jacket.

    A trypsin inhibitor was isolated from bovine colostrum by affinity chromatography. Immunoelectrophoresis detected two immunogenic components in the isolated inhibitor, but only one of these was specific for the inhibitor; the other one was identical with an antigen present in liver, kidney, spleen, adrenal, thyroid, thymus, brain, ovarian, testicular and udder tissue and in bull seminal plasma. Using immunoabsorption and immunofluorescence it was shown that the antigens specific for the trypsin inhibitor of colostrum could be demonstrated only in the tissue of an udder that is secreting colostrum. The inhibitor is secreted by the secretory epithelium of the milk alveoli of the udder, during the period when the latter secretes colostrum. This inhibitor was not detected in the milk. Cross-reaction between antisera to colostral inhibitor and basic pancreatic inhibitor or seminal plasma inhibitors yielded negative results. Antiserum to bovine colostral inhibitor showed a positive reaction with inhibitor isolated from porcine colostrum.
