Allergic diseases in infancy II–oral tolerance and its failure

Objective: The early window of opportunity describes the timeframe after birth in which essential interactions of the immune system and the newly developing microbiota take place. The infant's immune system has to be reactive to invading pathogens and at the same time tolerant to dietary antige...

Conclusion: Understanding the developmental mechanisms in this early phase of immune system development is the first step to develop strategies of pathology prevention. As human milk protects the infant from infections, and aids to develop a tolerogenic immune response, further knowledge on the protective factors in human milk and their effect on the immune system is required.Mathias Hornef, MDOliver Pabst, PhDIsabella Annesi-Maesano, MD, PhDManja Fleddermann, PhDErika von Mutius, MDMonika Schaubeck, PhDAlessandro Fiocchi, MDElsevierarticleAllergyAllergy preventionOral toleranceWindow of opportunityImmunologic diseases.
