Question

Mother does not transmit what antibody to the baby

• A. Polio
• B. Diphtheria
• C. Diphtheria
• D. Tetanus

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In the context of maternal antibody transmission, it's crucial to understand that while a mother passes various antibodies to her baby through the placenta, not all types of antibodies for all diseases are transmitted. The transferred antibodies are part of the baby’s passive immunity and mainly consist of Immunoglobulin G (IgG). 

When considering diseases like Polio, Diphtheria, Pertussis, and Tetanus, the mother transfers these through IgG antibodies; however, the effectiveness and transmission vary.

Among the options provided:

Disease	Maternal Transmission via Antibodies
Polio	No significant transplacental transfer of protection
Diphtheria	Antibodies can be transmitted
Tetanus	Antibodies can be transmitted

 

In this context, the correct answer to the question of "Mother does not transmit what antibody to the baby" is: Polio.
