A new study has found that infection of nursing mothers with the Corona virus causes the body to produce antibodies that neutralize the virus and remain in their milk for up to 10 months. A Different from immunoglobulin antibodies G (IgG) present in human blood, which is stimulated by the Corona vaccine, and the study was presented at the 15th International Symposium on Lactation.
According to a report by the site time now news “Approximately 10% of children will develop MERS-CoV disease, which requires advanced care, and a potential mechanism could be provided to protect this population through passive immunity through previously infected breast milk,” said Dr. Rebecca Powell of the Department of Infectious Diseases at Icahn School of Medicine.
The study showed that secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) sticks to the lining of the respiratory tract and intestines of children and helps prevent viruses and bacteria from entering their bodies. It’s a great treatment, because it supports the mucosal areas of the body, such as the lining of the respiratory tract, and the virus lives and works very well there.”
For the study, the team took breast milk samples from 75 women recovering from the Corona virus and found that 88% of the women had antibodies IgA In most cases, these were able to prevent infection.
They also found that the women continued to secrete these antibodies for up to 10 months. Moreover, the research team also investigated the association of corona-specific antibodies in the breast milk of 50 women after vaccination with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or, according to the report, all the women Those who were injected with the Moderna vaccine, and 87% of those who received the Pfizer vaccine had antibodies IgG In their milk, 71% and 51%, respectively, had antibodies to the virus IgA Specific to the virus, and added that for the vaccine J&J Only 38% of the women had antibodies IgG And 23% have antibodies IgA The team is now investigating the antibody response in breast milk from the AstraZeneca vaccine.
