Perhaps the research is this (and I haven't actually read it):

1) Goldblum RM et al.  Antibody forming cells in human colostrum after oral immunization.  Nature 1975; 257:797-99

2) Goldman, AS.  Immunologic system in human milk. J Pediatr Gastoenterol Nutr 1986; 5:343-45.

<<"This doesn't confirm the here often postulated hypothesis that there is a
direct immune response of the mammary gland to the mouth-of-the-baby.
(snip)

I think this evidence will show up in the future, based on what I've read so
far I think it is a very reasonable hypothesis, but it is good to know it is
only a hypotheses....

Maybe i'm wrong..If someone knows such a research, I'm happy to hear about
it..
