Together, our results reveal that IgG from potentially tolerant atopic mothers can influence offspring thymic IL-17-producing γδT cell maturation. Furthermore, we suggest that IgG is an unprecedented modulatory factor of murine and human γδT cells. These observations may support the future development of IgG-based immunoregulatory therapeutic strategies.
