Amniotic fluid (AmF) provides a protective environment for the unborn fetus. A number of immunologic factors typically found in mucosal secretions, including milk, are present in AmF. These include several innate anti-microbial substances such as lysozyme, lactoferrin, transferrin, peroxidase, and interferon-α1–5. The concentration of most of these factors increases in the AmF as the fetus matures, despite an overall decline in amniotic fluid protein concentration2. Specific immunologic factors in the AmF include maternally derived IgG and low levels of IgA and IgM6. The IgA2 in AmF has been shown to be of fetal origin based on the allotypic marker A2m7. Low levels of IgA, IgM and secretory component (SC)-positive antibodies specific for Escherichia coli and poliovirus are detectable in AmF from early (14–20 wks) and late (30–40 wks) gestational samples8. However, the frequency of detecting these antibodies in these samples did not seem to increase with gestational age.
