33 Citations | Our data suggest that high avidity antibodies preferentially cross the placenta; this seems to start early during gestation and appears to be related to the nature of the antigen to which the antibodies are directed, but not to the degree of antigenic exposure. |
This is the first report to describe that neutralizing antibodies against HPV6 in mothers with CA go through the placenta and enter the circulation of their infants. | |
Open access•Journal Article 20 Citations | Our results indicate that antibodies are transferred by way of the placenta and yolk sac, and reach the fetus predominantly via the circulation. |
40 Citations | The ability of maternal immunoglobulin IgG antibodies to be transported readily across the healthy intact placenta depends on many different factors including gestational age in the pregnancy, nature and timing of the immunization and presence of maternal HIV or malaria infections. |
54 Citations | Maternal antibodies transported across the placenta can provide vital immunity against infectious pathogens for infants. |
20 Citations | These results indicate an efficient and selective transfer through the placenta of certain viral antibodies and the possible association of lower antibody production with the presence of risk indicators in the infants. |
17 Citations | Even rapid (accelerated) reproduction of antibodies may come too late to prevent the passage of the virus through the placenta to the foetus. |
These results indicated that maternal antibodies induced by the plague subunit vaccine in mother mice can be transferred to NM by both placenta and lactation. |

How does Sars1 affect t the placenta?5 answersSARS-CoV-2 infection impacts the placenta in various ways. Studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy can lead to alterations in placental mitochondrial features, oxidative balance, and gene expressions related to antioxidant defenses, mitochondrial dynamics, and respiratory chain subunits. Additionally, SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant infection has been linked to placental insufficiency, intervillous fibrin deposition, ischemic necrosis of villi, and histiocytic intervillositis, indicating significant placental pathology and subsequent fetal distress. The virus colonizes ACE2-expressing maternal and fetal cells in the placenta, leading to reduced ACE2 levels and alterations in the renin-angiotensin system, potentially increasing the risk of adverse hemodynamic outcomes like preeclampsia in pregnant women. Histopathological examinations have revealed features of fetal and maternal malperfusion, such as chorangiosis and villous crowding, suggesting a potential rise in adverse perinatal outcomes like intrauterine fetal growth retardation and preterm birth.
What immune markers pass through the placenta from mother to embryo?4 answersAntibodies of the IgG class are the primary immune markers that pass through the placenta from mother to embryo, conferring passive immunity to the fetus. Additionally, maternal immune activation markers such as sCD8, sIL-2R, and β2 m have been detected in both maternal and fetal compartments, suggesting transport or diffusion from the mother to the fetus. Furthermore, the placenta has been shown to express minor histocompatibility antigens (mHAgs) and release trophoblast-derived exosomes containing immune molecules like HLA-DR, which can influence dendritic cell phenotype. These findings highlight the crucial role of the placenta in transferring immune markers and providing protection to the developing embryo.
