Research grant to study how maternal IgA affects neonatal immune development and gluten sensitivity using mouse models.
Description
This project investigates the role of maternal IgA in shaping neonatal immune development, particularly focusing on its impact on tolerogenic iNKT cells and subsequent gluten sensitivity. The study uses mouse models to assess how maternal IgA influences immune tolerance and the development of gluten-sensitive enteropathy.
