  		Fig. 2. (A) Effect of offspring immunization group on tarsus growth from day 8 to day 14, after immunization on day 6. Offspring in the control group were given an injection of phosphate-buffered saline, offspring in the maternal group were immunized with the same antigen as their mothers, and offspring in the novel group were immunized with an antigen to which their mothers had not been exposed. (B) Effect of offspring immunization group on mass gain from day 8 to 14, after immunization on day 6. Offspring in the control group were given an injection of phosphate-buffered saline, offspring in the maternal group were immunized with the same antigen as their mothers, and offspring in the novel group were immunized with an antigen to which their mothers had not been exposed. Groups with different letters are significantly different. (C) Effect of offspring immunization group on wing growth from day 8 to 14, after immunization on day 6. Offspring in the control group were given an injection of phosphate-buffered saline, offspring in the maternal group were immunized with the same antigen as their mothers, and offspring in the novel group were immunized with an antigen to which their mothers had not been exposed. Groups with different letters are significantly different.
