This volume of Advances in Nutritional Research focuses on
colostrum and milk as agents of defense against infection both for
the suckling offspring and for the lactating mammary gland. The
scope of the volume includes positive and negative influences of
the consumption of mother's milk on the risk of infec tion,
immunobiological roles of individual milk components, activities of
milk and its components in promoting development of neonatal
immunocompetence, the potential of milk and its components as
therapeutic agents and as functional foods that support immune
competence, and external influences that determine the
immunological activity of milk. The volume is intended to provide a
critical assessment of the limits of available information
pertaining to humans and animals, together with authoritative
comment regarding newer directions and unproven ideas. Part I
provides a foundation for the volume. Readers unfamiliar with
immunology will find, in Chapter 1, a selective outline of the
anatomy and ontogeny of the mammalian immune system and of the
types and regulation of immune defenses in mammals. Some emphasis
is given to the place of the mammary gland within the common
mucosal defense system, and to important species peculiarities in
this regard. Chapter 2 is an authoritative and forward looking
perspective on the development of knowledge pertaining to the
immuno biology of milk as a fluid with both anti-infectious and
anti-inflammatory roles. The chapter poses the provocative
possibility of a tolerogenic role for milk."
