Hospital Mount Sinai hospitals in New York conducted a study that revealed that the mother is capable of transmitting antibodies to coronavirus to their children through breast milk, reports Daily Mail. Thus, babies on breastfeeding receive partial protection against the virus.
American researchers have collected milk in 75 women who recovered from Coronavirus and found out that antibodies were present in breast milk to ten months after his mother’s infection. At the same time, most milk samples of mothers with a positive result on COVID-19 neutralized the virus.
Now scientists find out whether immunity is capable of transmitted through breast milk after vaccination. Antibodies of breast milk want to use to develop a new medicine from COVID-19 for adults.
Previously, scientists of the British Center for Viral Research MRC University of Glasgow conducted a study and explained why part of the world’s population could be immunity to COVID-19. In their opinion, the answer lies in the peculiarities of their genetics: the mutation in the OAS1 gene is responsible for it.
