Developmental Immunology Journals
Developmental
Immunology is a branch of
medical science that studies factors that are responsible for the development of immune
cells and organs in a body of organisms. The
immune system is still in developing condition in newborn babies, while the system becomes depressed with ageing. There are therefore many factors in the human body responsible for an active
immune system which includes age, type of antigen, maternal factors, etc. The body's immune cells, such as the lymphocytes and monocytes, are not fully active in neonates. Therefore their phagocytic activity becomes impaired when they come into contact with the foreign
cells and antigens. Maternal
milk carries several important factors, such as antibodies, which are needed in neonates for an active
innate immunity. These antibodies actually help the newborn babies to survive without any external
vaccination for months.
