Influences on immunity development in the prenatal and perinatal period

MUDr.Alice Mocková, Ph.D.
Neonatologické oddělení, FN Plzeň

The current knowledge about a complex process of the immune system ontogenesis in the fetus and neonate is briefly summarized in

the article. Development of the neonatal, especially innate immunity, is affected by endogenous, primarily genetic, factors. Specific

(adaptive) immunity is created mainly as a result of external factors including exposure to external pathogens and microorganisms,

microbial colonization of the child‘s gut, nutritional factors, and active immunization.

Keywords: immunity, neonate, development
