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?
