@icedquinn @dhfir @freemo you’d expect the antibodies to attack the foreign antibodies…
@icedquinn @dhfir @freemo across species is an even bigger leap…
usually, any biomolecule will provoke an uproar if not from the same individual…

Thats not entierly true.. depends entirely on what it is we are discussing. antibodies are perfectly well tolerated. In fact you can cross species and cross-humal blood plasma just fine as long as there are no red blood cells in it, and that stuff is loaded with all sorts of antibodies.
Yup, which is why breastfeeding doesnt provide any long term direct immunities but does help protect a babies temporarily until their own immune system is strong enough.

colostrum research in the 60's was about basically vaccinating cows while they were starting to lactate and then feeding the milk to a human who was suffering some theoretically untreatable disease.
