Abstract
Confrontation of the unborn child immune system with the noninherited maternal antigens (NIMAs) has a lifelong modulating impact on the immune response of the child against the NIMAs. In this review we summarize the clinical evidence for the existence of the NIMA effect, discuss the possible cellular and molecular basis of the phenomenon, and outline the necessity of further clinical research.
