In addition to providing
protection against infections that may promote atopic disease, breast - feeding also promotes the establishment of an intestinal microbiota that may protect
against atopic disease, possibly
by stimulating tolerogenic cytokines, such as TGF - β, or stimulating a Th1 response (47).
Breast feeding is clearly an issue for public health consideration as it provides significant
protection against infections in newborns and infants.12 Because breast feeding has been shown to protect
against infections so profoundly in developing countries, it is estimated that an increase in breast feeding worldwide
by 40 % would reduce deaths from respiratory
infection by 50 % in children less than 18 months of age.3
New research conducted
by scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, found that higher levels of antibody
against a different flu surface protein — neuraminidase (NA)-- were the better predictor of
protection against flu
infection and its unpleasant side effects.

To be certain the Th2 type immunopathology was elicited
by the S protein vaccine in our studies and in hopes a greater immune response would result from higher dosages of the vaccine and induce greater
protection against infection as well as reduce or prevent the immunopathology, our experiment 2 used up to 9 µg of the S protein for immunization.
This premature enthusiasm has more recently given way to caution as the technology has gradually been transferred to humans, with only limited short - term success.3 Finally, since HIV usually enters the body through mucosal surfaces — the vagina and rectum — augmenting an immune response at these portals of entry
by using what scientists call mucosal AIDS vaccines might be an additional way to improve
protection against infection.
The Wistar Institute was awarded a $ 1,494,972 grant
by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to advance a DNA - based vaccine candidate for
protection against malarial
infection utilizing a synthetic DNA platform created in the lab of David B. Weiner, Ph.D., executive vice president, director of the Vaccine & Immunotherapy Center at The Wistar Institute and the W.W. Smith Charitable Trust Professor in Cancer Research.

protection against kennel cough, as many strains of this
infection, are caused
by the parainfluenza virus.
