Notes:
The effect of milk feeding on the ontogeny of serum IgA in breast and cow milk formula fed neonates was studied. There was a rise in serum IgA concentrations from the 2nd week in both groups, but no difference in rate of appearance or concentrations in relation to age, gestation or sex. The ingestion of RSV antibody-rich colostrum was associated with a rise in serum anti-RSV IgA in 2 preterm infants during the perinatal period. We suggest that there are 2 mechanisms which regulate the ontogeny of circulating IgA: an early but small intestinal uptake of colostral IgA, and a later endogenous production, which in this study was not influenced by composition of feeds.
