Do maternally derived antibodies and early immune experience shape the adult immune response?

2010-03-20

Abstract excerpt

Summary 1. Immunological imprinting by maternally derived antibodies has been proposed to have both positive and negative consequences for offspring immunity in early and adult life. However, few studies of maternal effects on immunity have followed individuals past the juvenile stages. 2. Using laboratory Japanese quail, we developed a novel method of directly manipulating yolk antibodies of neonates, and then fo...
