The coefficient of uptake is as high as 70% whereas it is only 30% for cow's milk & infant formulas.The calcium/phosphorus ratio of human milk is high so that the uptake of calcium is better then cow's milk.Egg protein is the reference protein but human milk protein is the best protein for infants therefore, human milk protein is considered a reference protein for infants, and other milk or formula feed are compared with it.For far and Arneil's textbook of pediatrics 6/e p400 writes-Protein quality can be expressed numerically either by essential 'amino acid score' or 'net protein utilization ', the proportion of ingested protein which is retained. Human milk is used as a reference protein in both cases.
