説明

<jats:p>Spontaneous integrin expression on CD4+, CD8+ and CD19+ lymphocytes at 6 months was significantly lower in breastfed than formula‐fed infants (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.05). In another study of 59 formula‐fed and 64 breastfed 12‐month‐old children blast transformation and cytokine production by lymphocytes, and T cell changes were measured before and after measles‐mumps‐rubella vaccination (MMR). Before vaccination, lymphocytes of breastfed children had lower levels of blast transformation without antigen (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.001), with tetanus toxoid (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.02) or <jats:italic>Candida</jats:italic> (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.04), and lower interferon‐γ production (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.03). Fourteen days after the live viral vaccination, only the breastfed children had increased production of interferon‐γ (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.02) and increased percentages of CD56+ (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.022) and CD8+ cells (<jats:italic>p</jats:italic> < 0.004). These findings are consistent with a Thl type response by breastfed children, not evident in formula‐fed children. Feeding mode has an important long‐term immunomodulating effect on infants beyond weaning.</jats:p>
