Abstract
Umbilical cord blood lymphocytes showed consistent proliferation in response to Dermatophagoides group I (Der p I) and occasionally even to Lolium group I (Lol p I) allergen. These data suggest sensitization in utero of T cells due to inhalation of these allergens by the mother during pregnancy.
