Immunostimulating effects of health foods on murine macrophage cell line

利用小鼠巨噬细胞系研究了多种保健食品的免疫刺激作用。将这些食物添加到细胞系的培养基中，并且作为效果的指标，在显微镜下研究细胞的形态变化。因此，在测试的保健食品中，可以预期蘑菇和香菇菌丝体（LEM）提取物具有免疫刺激作用。接下来，检测这些食品的抗单核细胞增生李斯特菌活性。木耳处理的细胞比未处理的细胞具有增加的抗李斯特菌活性，这被认为是来自活性氧依赖性。

Immunostimulating effects of various health foods were studied using murine macrophage cell line. These foods were added to the culture medium of the cell line, and, as an index of the effects, morphological changes of the cell were searched under the microscope. As a result, among the health foods tested, immunostimulating effects could be expected in agaricus and extracts from Lentinula edodes mycelia (LEM). Next, anti-Listeria monocytogenes activities of these foods were examined. The agaricus-treated cells had increased anti-Listeria activity than the non-treated cells, which was suggested to derive from active oxygen dependence.
