| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated infantile immune system by breast milk feeding after maternal nasal immunization using pneumococcal surface protein antigen PspA. Anti-PspA specific IgG in sera was high in pups born from maternal nasal immunized mother mice. In addition, in pups who received breast-feeding by immunized mother, reactivation of anti-PspA specific IgG was recognized by PspA stimulation even at the age of 6 weeks of age. These results revealed that immune responses in maternal immunity were transferred to neonatal mice via breast milk and immunological memory was induced in their pups. In maternal immunization, not only placental transfer of specific antibody but breast milk feeding also play the important role in the supplemented immature immunity at neonatal period.
