A group of scientists from University of Florida (UV) found in the faeces of infants of mothers vaccinated against COVID-19 antibodies against the virus of this infectious disease, a “significant discovery” made public this Thursday.
The new study, published in the Journal of Perinatology, builds on another study by the same group published in 2021, which found that the breast milk of vaccinated women contains antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the infection. COVID-19.
“Our results suggest a possible transfer of specific antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 from a vaccinated mother to a child through breast milk,” he said. EFE Joseph Larkin III, lead author of the study and professor in the UF Department of Microbiology and Cellular Sciences.
Scientists analyzed the feces of infants who consumed breast milk and determined the “presence of antibodies” that traveled through the infants’ intestinal tract.
have antibodies
“When we eat food, it travels through the intestinal tract,” and the presence of antibodies in that system “suggests mother-to-child transmission of antibodies,” although this area “requires further study,” Larkin said.
To arrive at this “significant discovery”, the scientists used a method called the “neutralization test” and confirmed that the antibodies found in infants’ feces provide protection against the virus.
Finding antibodies in the digestive tract is a valuable finding, according to the study’s authors, because the virus was often thought to affect mainly the lungs, “but it can also be present” in organs through which food and liquids enter when swallowed. . (EFE)
