In title, [beta] is represented by the Greek letter. Copies of author's previously published articles inserted. Errata pages pasted onto back end-paper. Bibliography: leaves 104-137. Studies milk TGF-[beta] and its receptors in the post-natal gut using a rat model to investigate a link between milk TGF-[beta] and the development of the infant gut and gut mucosal immune system. 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.
