Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between intestinal microbiota and allergy development and the effect of maternal allergen intake during lactating period on immune reactions in offspring. Microbiota was changed in the intestine of DO11.10 mice, when those were sensitized by oral OVA administration. Maternal diet affected severity of allergic reactions probably via changing in the intestinal microbiota in offspring. Native antigen was observed in breast milk after the perinatal maternal exposure of oral antigen, with resulting sensitization in offspring. However, the sensitization was not enough to induce allergic reactions, and maternal allergen exposure did not affect the severity of allergic reactions after the additional sensitization.
