Determining How Immunity is Transferred from Mother to Infant to Understand the Effects of Vaccination
Time: 2:00 pm
day: Pre-Conference Workshop Day
Details:
We see varying immunological responses linked with the maternal-infant microbiome. Here we will deep dive into
immunity in the infant and the impact of the microbiome
This workshop will highlight:
- Exploring the interaction of the adaptive immune system in the intestine and the microbiota
- Passive protection post vaccination by transfer of immunoglobulins through breast feeding
- Understanding immunological mechanisms between maternal-infant immunity
- Malnourished and pre-term infant immunological response to vaccination
