Passive Oral Immunization as a Promising Tool for Treating Rotavirus Infections in Newborns
摘要
Abstract
The development of antiviral drugs due to the high risk of rotavirus infections, especially for newborns, has attracted a lot of attention. This review is devoted to consideration of additional and promising tools for controlling human rotavirus infection (HRI) in newborns—passive oral immunization. Vaccination of animals allows us to obtain immunoglobulins in the form of colostrum and use them against human diseases. The use of bovine colostrum as an additional therapeutic agent against HRI in newborns is analyzed.
