Pregnant moms’ SARS-CoV-2 antibodies pass to newborns – Futurity: Research News
Mothers who have had COVID-19, or asymptomatic exposure to SARS-CoV-2, may be able to provide some protection against the virus to their newborns.
Antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus in the blood of pregnant women cross the placenta efficiently and are found at similar concentrations in the blood of their newborns, according to a new study.
The findings suggest that mothers who have had COVID-19, or asymptomatic exposure to the coronavirus, can provide some protection against the virus to their newborns through this antibody transfer.
The authors of the new paper in JAMA Pediatrics hypothesize this may have implications for COVID-19 vaccines.
