Perinatal maternal application of <i>Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG</i> suppresses allergic airway inflammation in mouse offspring

Abstract

Our data suggest that LGG may exert beneficial effects on the development of experimental allergic asthma, when applied in a very early phase of life. Immunological effects are, at least in parts, mediated via the placenta, probably by induction of pro-inflammatory cell signals.
