Abstract

|
|
Purpose : To evaluate the anti-allergic effects of intragastric treatment with various strains of lactobacillus, we undertook this study in the murine model of peanut allergy.
Methods : Ten groups of mice were sensitized and boosted with 1 mg/dose of crude peanut intragastricly at day 1, 2, 3, 7 and 21. Also, each groups of mice was treated with various strains of lactobacillus or PBS starting on the 1st day of sensitization, for 3 weeks daily. During the experiment, peanut specific serum IgE, IgG1, IgG2a were measured at weekly intervals, and compared at week four which is one week after the end of lactobacillus treatment.
Results : By treatment with various strains of lactobacillus, peanut specific IgE levels were decreased in all treated groups of mice compared to sham-treated mice. And at least six of the 10 groups of mice treated with various strains of L. casei or L. acidophilus showed remarkable down-regulatory effects on the production of peanut specific IgE antibodies, while the regulatory effects on specific IgG1, and IgG2a antibodies were variable. Especially, L. casei IBS041 showed harmonized regulatory effect on the productions of peanut specific IgE, IgG1 and IgG2a.
Conclusion : We selected and partly confirmed several strains of lactobacillus which showed anti-allergic effects in the production of antigen specific IgE in the murine model of peanut allergy.
