  • Title: [Antibody-induced immunosuppression: a possible mechanism for tetanus immunization failure in infants (author's transl)].
    Author: Wirsing von König CH, Ströder J, Finger H.
    Journal: Immun Infekt; 1981 Sep; 9(5):175-6. PubMed ID: 7298066.
    Abstract:
    High concentration of passively transferred material antibodies against tetanus toxin in the neonates' serum are probably the cause of tetanus immunization failure in young children. As a consequence, children of mothers, who were immunized against tetanus shortly before or during pregnancy, should be postponed from immunization to 6-7 months of age.
