  • Many polysaccharides isolated from plants have been shown to enhance various immune responses in vivo and in vitro. Here we demonstrate that polysaccharide isolated from the root of Acanthopanax koreanum (AK) has a unique mode of immunostimulation with regard to its cell-type specificity. AK was found to markedly increase polyclonal 1gM antibody production and the proliferation of B cells. (omitted)

  • The potential allergenicity of the transgene products in genetically modified organisms (GMOs). has been an important issue. As a part of the risk assessment of GMOs. we investigated the physicochemical stability and the immunogenicity of food allergens to determine their allergenicity. We have systematically evaluated the stability of food allergens in the gastrointestinal tract by using simple models of gastric (Stimulated gastric fluid) and intestinal (Stimulated intestinal fluid) digestion.
