The researchers note that the process of CD71+ immune suppression is vital for the intestines to build up healthy bacterial colonization, and this is more important than the threat of neonatal infection.
However, they emphasize that further research is warranted in order to create new strategies for the protection of newborn infants against infection while still allowing the CD71+ cells to assist in developing healthy intestines.
