Cytokine afhankelijkheid van d geheugen B cel vorming: Een studie in de muis met speciale aandacht voor IgG, en IgE
Mammals are born with virtually no self-generated immune protection. Immediately after birth they are more or less protected by antibodies that have crossed the placenta or are derived from the colostrum. This so called passive-immunization only holds for a limited period after birth. When the new-born is exposed to environmental antigens the immune-defense systems are gradually built up_ This natural form of active immunization can be mimicked by a deliberate introduction of antigens into the host in order to provoke protective immune responses prior to a natural encounter with those antigens [Clark, 1991]
