Maternal Immunoglobulins bind microbiota in colostrum and neonatal stool samples
Maternal immunoglobulins (IgA1, IgA2, IgM, and IgG) bind a diverse community of bacteria in human colostrum. Also in neonatal feces, bacteria coated with maternal immunoglobulins were found, these were separated by fluorescence-associated cell sorting (FACS).
