A subtle molecular change allows immunoglobulin to take on an expanded protective role during pregnancy, according to a study by the Cincinnati Children Hospi
Study reveals how the early days of mother-provided immunity work, and what this could mean for preventing death and disability for a wide range of infectious diseases. The findings could allow for the development of new therapies and improved vaccines that mimic the elevated maternal antibodies.
Understanding how pregnant women create super antibodies – which provide broad immune protection to newborn babies against various pathogens – could help scientists develop better vaccines and treatments for various infectious diseases, researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital say.
