Perth respiratory researchers have discovered that giving an immune booster to mothers during pregnancy could increase their newborns’ resistance to severe and life-threatening respiratory viral infections.
The study found the rare immune cells, known as plasmacytoid dendritic cells, showed clear signs of activation and virus defence in children with transient wheeze, whereas in children with persistent wheeze the same immune cells showed very limited activation without any signs of virus defence.
This work is the first step to develop safe treatments for pregnant mums to protect against preterm delivery and low birth weight caused by maternal infections.
