Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the most abundant solid component of human milk after lactose and lipids. Approximately 80% of mothers produce the HMO 2' fucosylactose (2'FL). In this presentation we will review clinical studies exploring the immune benefit of 2'FL and discuss pre-clinical evidence of 2'FL on food allergy and potential mechanisms of action. We will describe the possible role of 2'FL HMO in enhancing oral tolerance.

Learning objectives:

  1. To learn about HMOs, with a particular focus on 2'FL
  2. To learn about clinical studies supporting HMOs in immune support
  3. To explore how 2'FL HMO may be relevant for nutritional management of infants with food allergy
  4. To learn about the pre-clinical evidence of 2'FL effects on food allergy
  5. To understand the effects of 2'FL on key elements of the immune response and their potential mechanisms of action
