Recall that antibodies aren't really what the fetus would be concerned about, as they are targeted by the b (plasma B) cells from whence they came to a specific antigenic sequence on the targeted organism. For the fetus to be targeted by antibodies, it would have to contact an immune receptor cell, (ie Dendritic Cell) and then activated and transferred the antigenic coding sequence to a b cell. There are no such cells within the blood supply that would code for anything that the fetus would give antigenic that wouldn't trigger an immune response directed at mom too. These responses are taken care of before the b cells mature in the bone marrow by the autoimmune screening process.
Why the fetus doesn't get targeted by CD8-T Cells is a whole different story that is much more complicated.

What prevents the majority infections from spreading from mother to fetus?
Antibodies in the maternal blood prevent most infections from being transmitted to the fetus.
Why does erythroblastosis fetalis occur with a second pregnancy and normally not the first pregnancy?
The mother is exposed to fetal blood during childbirth or abortion. The Rh+ proteins on the surface of fetal erythocytes can trigger an immune response in the mother. This creates antibodies in the mother and memory lymphocytes that are able to create more antibodies. In the second pregnancy with a fetus with Rh factor, the antibodies in maternal blood can cross the placenta to the fetus and attack the fetus's erythocytes to cause erythroblastosis fetalis. The maternal blood in the first pregnancy does not contain such antibodies to cause the problem because the mother has never been exposed to the Rh factor until the time of first childbirth with the antigen.
What specific type of acquired immunity that a fetus obtains from maternal antibodies that cross the placenta is called?
Passive immunity because the antibodies pass from mother to fetus.
Which way of immunization results as a long-term immunity?
the passage of maternal antibodies to her developing fetus!for more research ,please le me know!INDAMUTSA,N.U.R,FACULTY OF SCIENCES.
How can antibodies be transferred from a woman to a fetus and a baby?
As found in Wikipedia Maternal passive immunity is a type of naturally acquired passive immunity, and refers to antibody-mediated immunity conveyed to a fetus by its mother during pregnancy. Maternal antibodies (MatAb) are passed through the placenta to the fetus by an FcRn receptor on placental cells. This occurs around the third month of gestation.[2] Immunoglobulin G is the only antibody isotype that can pass through the placenta.[2] Immunization is often required shortly following birth to prevent diseases such as tuberculosis, hepatitis B, polio, and pertussis, however, maternal antibodies can inhibit the induction of protective vaccine responses throughout the first year of life. This effect is usually overcome by secondary responses to booster immunization.[3] Passive immunity is also provided through the transfer of IgA antibodies found in breast milk that are transferred to the gut of the infant, protecting against bacterial infections, until the newborn can synthesize its own antibodies.[4] The Maternal Antibodies transferred have a half-life of approximately 14 days, and thus only have an effect for the first months.
What passes from mother to fetus?
Antibodies.
What is feto-maternal?
Feto-maternal refers to the relationship between the fetus and the mother during pregnancy. It involves the interactions and exchanges that occur between the developing fetus and the mother's body to support fetal growth and development. This relationship is crucial for the health and well-being of both the fetus and the mother.
Which of these maternal structures houses the developing fetus?
Uterus
What kind of immunity Maternal antibodies are an example of?
passive immunity
How does a fetus obtain preformed antibodies?
A fetus will start producing IgM antibodies about 20 weeks into the pregnancy. The only antibody the fetus receives from it's mother is IgG which the baby will not start producing on its own until a few months after birth.
Icd code for newborn exposed to maternal GBS?
760.2 Fetus or newborn affected by maternal infections.
Immunity that occurs when antibodies come from another source?
Passive immunity occurs when antibodies are transferred from one individual to another, providing immediate protection against a specific pathogen. This type of immunity is temporary and does not involve the individual's immune system producing its own antibodies. Examples include maternal antibodies passed to the fetus during pregnancy and receiving antibodies through intravenous injections for rapid protection.
