Good Morning,

I have been asked a very interesting question.  Are there any studies using
breastmilk to treat immunodeficient diseases such as AIDS?  In a medline
search I found a Japanese study using human milk on mice.  The findings
suggested that TGF-beta in human milk functions as an adjuvant for
protective antibody responses against parenteral infections.

If you don't have information at hand, any suggestions on who to ask?
