TL;DR
The results imply that a variety of dietary proteins, still immunoprecipitable, are able to cross the materno-foetal barriers to be detected in the foetal circulation, where they may influence the maturation of the immune system of the foetus.
Abstract
Pregnant rats were orally fed with a mixture of bovine IgG, bovine albumin, ovalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin. Using immunoprecipitation methods, these proteins were detected in the maternal blood serum, urine and uterine fluids, and also in the foetal blood serum and the amniotic fluid. The results imply that a variety of dietary proteins, still immunoprecipitable, are able to cross the materno-foetal barriers to be detected in the foetal circulation, where they may influence the maturation of the immune system of the foetus.

Analytical BiochemistryQuantitative estimation of proteins by electrophoresis in agarose gel containing antibodies
4,431 Citations1966Carl‐Bertil Laurell
The method utilizes the difference between the rate of electrophoretic migration of proteins and of their antibody complexes in agarose gel to perform quantitative analysis of proteins with a charge differing from that of the bulk of the immunoglobulins.

The antibody in agar plate test has proved valuable for the quantitative measurement of individual serum immunoglobulins and the values obtained are higher than those found by the isotopic immune inhibition technique, except for the serum IgA and Type K (I) and Type L (II) Immunoglobulin levels.

Objective evidence is provided that the intestinal mucosal barrier of newborns may be incompletely developed at birth and allow increased intestinal transport of antigens into the circulation and contribute to the protection of the infant from potentially harmful luminal antIGens.
The LancetACTIVATION OF IgE REGULATORY MECHANISMS BY TRANSMUCOSAL ABSORPTION OF ANTIGEN
101 Citations1977Ellen E. E. Jarrett
Work with laboratory animals indicates a mechanism which is the antithesis of the overstimulation concept: that quantities of antigen sufficiently large to activate IgE immunoregulatory mechanisms, particularly suppressor T cells, are normally absorbed across the mucosae and that, where other conditions for the activation of these cells are appropriate, inhibition rather than stimulation of IgE responses results.

Horseradish peroxidase injected into amniotic fluid is swallowed by rat fetuses and within 3–6 h reaches the gut lumen, strongly suggesting that it is transported from the intestine to the circulation.

The monkey fetal intestine has the capacity to take up macromolecular protein contained within swallowed amniotic fluid, and it may prove feasible to introduce compounds beneficial to the developing human fetus via the amniosis fluid.
