Synopsis

The infant immune system has its own characteristics that differ from those of adults, a quality that influences its susceptibility to different diseases as well as to immunological interventions such as the use of vaccines. Despite current advances, infections are still considered the leading cause of child morbidity and mortality worldwide. That is why this study aims to explore the particularities of the immune system from its embryonic development to childhood, as well as the influence of environmental factors. It will address how early exposure to pathogens and commensal microbiota shape the maturation of innate and adaptive immune responses. It will examine the adaptive immune response, which includes antibodies and memory B cell responses, as well as the innate response, characterized by specific cytokine responses and the activation of immune cells in the blood.
