Randomized trial investigates neutrophils in early breast milk, revealing their link to adaptive immunity.

This research aims to characterize neutrophils in early breast milk and understand their immune functions.
Characterization of neutrophils using flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy, and immunocytochemistry.
In vitro assessment of circulating neutrophil modifications in a breast milk environment.
Proteomic analysis of isolated neutrophils and their supernatant to explore underlying biological mechanisms.
Colostrum neutrophils exhibit a distinct CXCR4+CD62L−CXCR2mid phenotype compared to circulating neutrophils (N=sample size).
Changes in phenotypic characteristics are observed upon incubation with colostrum whey.
Proteomic analysis identifies antigen binding and humoral response pathways as key processes in colostrum neutrophils.

Gomez‐Casado et al. (2026) studied this question.
