Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Breast milk samples were collected from 152 women during the first week after delivery. The levels of IgG and IgA antibodies to beta-lactoglobulin, ovalbumin and gliadin were assessed with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The breast milk antibody levels did not differ significantly between mothers on a strictly cow's milk and egg-free diet, and mothers taking these foods. Moreover, the colostral food antibody levels did not differ significantly between atopic and non-atopic mothers. Neither was there any correlation between the colostral antibody levels and the development of atopic disease in the baby. I conclude that maternal antigen avoidance during late pregnancy does not affect the food antibody levels in colostrum. High levels of food antibodies in a colostrum sample seem not to offer protection against food allergy in the child. |
