  • Title: Induction of immunological tolerance against sheep red blood cells in A/J mice by maternal immunization.
    Author: Schröder S, Schäffner H, Ambrosius H.
    Journal: Acta Biol Med Ger; 1982; 41(9):847-51. PubMed ID: 6762026.
    Abstract:
    Female A/J mice were immunized with sheep red blood cells (SRBC) before mating and boosted a few days before delivery. The progeny of these mothers was immunologically tolerant against SRBC at the level of plaque forming cells (PFC). The state of unresponsiveness was antigen specific. Exchange of the newborn mice between control mothers and immunized ones shows clearly that the tolerance is induced by factors present in the milk or the colostrum, respectively. Some others findings suggest that antibodies of the mothers and not small amounts of the injected antigen are responsible for the nearly complete suppression of the immune response of the offspring.
