  • Title: The passage of orally fed proteins from mother to foetus in the rat.
    Author: Dahl GM, Telemo E, Weström BR, Jakobsson I, Lindberg T, Karlsson BW.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol A Comp Physiol; 1984; 77(2):199-201. PubMed ID: 6142789.
    Abstract:
    Pregnant rats were orally fed with a mixture of bovine IgG, bovine albumin, ovalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin. Using immunoprecipitation methods, these proteins were detected in the maternal blood serum, urine and uterine fluids, and also in the foetal blood serum and the amniotic fluid. The results imply that a variety of dietary proteins, still immunoprecipitable, are able to cross the materno-foetal barriers to be detected in the foetal circulation, where they may influence the maturation of the immune system of the foetus.
