The newborn has an immune system, very limited in size at birth and its postnatal expansion
and maturation takes time. In the meantime the transplacental IgG antibodies from the …

Normal bovine milk contains about 3.5% protein. The concentration changes significantly
during lactation, especially during the first few days post-partum; the greatest change occurs …

The newborn receives, via the placenta, maternal IgG antibodies against the microbes
present in its surroundings, but such antibodies have a pro-inflammatory action, initiating the …

The evolution of immunological agents in milk is intertwined with the general aspects of the
evolution of the mammary gland. In that respect, mammalian precursors emerged from basal …

Mammalian milk is unique in that it is one of the few substances naturally designed to
