[Cite as https://purl.org/au-research/grants/nhmrc/1092264]Brief description In pregnancy there is suppression of maternal immunity to enable fetal implantation and growth. Respiratory viruses, like influenza, take advantage of these changes and cause infections that are more severe in pregnant women, affecting them and their babies. In this project we aim to identify specific immune responses against viruses that are reduced in pregnancy that can be selectively boosted. This has the potential to protect against viruses without affecting the pregnancy or baby.
