Finds maternal milk may be a major source of TGF-[beta] to the immature gut and may react with receptors on the cells of the mucosal immune system along the gastro-intestinal tract, modulating infant mucosal immune responses in the transition to the post-natal enteral feeding. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Paediatrics, 2000
