Infant respiratory infections modulate lymphocyte homing to breast milk
Updated: 2025-01-27 11:00:00
CONCLUSION: Respiratory infections in nursing infants stimulate an increase in cytokines and chemokines in breast milk, facilitating the recruitment and activation of lymphocytes. This process may promote immunological tolerance and help in the maturation of the infant's immune system, providing an additional strategy for passive maternal-infant protection.
