Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Maternal adaptive immunity conveys temporary humoral immune protection to neonates. The disclosure demonstrates the influence of the in utero environment on adult atherosclerosis and provides evidence for persistent effects of maternal immunization on adult immune responses. The disclosure provides methods and compositions useful for immunization and more particularly for actively modulating the fetal programming of the immune system for the purpose of preventing or treating immune-modulated diseases. The disclosure also provides interventions to protect offspring and immunized subjects against insulin resistance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of immunization, comprising administering an antigen containing epitopes formed by oxidation or glycation of a phospholipid to a pregnant subject or soon to be pregnant subject, wherein the immune response in the pregnant subject or soon to be pregnant subject induces non-passive immune programming in the resulting offspring to the antigen, so that the resulting offspring produces IgG and IgM, or IgM antibodies to the antigen, wherein the antigen is…
