Oral Tolerance Induced by Transfer of Food Antigens via Breast Milk of Allergic Mothers Prevents Offspring from Developing Allergic Symptoms in a Mouse Food Allergy Model

Figure 2

Effects of the maternal exposure to food antigens during lactation and the maternal allergic status on allergic symptoms in FA model. Offspring breastfed by OVA-sensitized and OVA-exposed lactating mothers were more protected from the development of allergic symptoms of FA compared with offspring from OVA-nonsensitized and OVA-exposed lactating mothers. Data are shown as the means ± SE (8 independent experiments, total n = 62–181). *𝑃<0.05, **𝑃<0.01.
