Preliminary Human Study for Possible Alteration of Serum Immunoglobulin E Production in Perennial Allergic Rhinitis with Fermented Milk Prepared with Lactobacillus gasseri TMC0356

Abstract: Abstract:The fermented milk prepared with Lactobacillus gasseri TMC0356 was administered at 200 ml per day for 4 weeks to 15 subjects with high serum IgE levels and perennial allergic rhinitis. The serum total IgE concentration was significantly reduced after 28 days' exposure to the fermented milk (P<0.05) compared to that before the intervention. The serum IgE specific to Acari and those to Japanese cedar pollen also significantly declined (P<0.05). T helper 1 (Th1) cells in the composition of their peripher… Show more

“…Th1 cells in the composition of their peripheral blood mononuclear cells significantly increased after 14 and 28 days. These results of this study by Morita et al 139 suggest that the fermented milk prepared with Lactobacillus gasseri may alter serum IgE concentration, at least partly by enhancement of Th1 immune responses of the subjects with high concentration of serum IgE. Another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted by Chen et al 140 on schoolchildren (age ¼ 6-12 years) with allergic rhinitis.…”

“…Twelve-month consumption of fermented milk containing Lctbs casei improved the health status of children with AR [67]. Furthermore, the fermented milk prepared with LGG and Lctbs gasseri was found to be beneficial in a seasonal AR such as in Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCP), due to its effect on nasal blockage [68,69]. Intake of Bfdbm longum-supplemented yogurt also relieved JCP symptoms [70,71].…”

“…Furthermore, this bacterium effectively inhibited antigen-augmented serum IgE in tested BALB/c mice immunized intraperitoneally with the food antigen OVA (M. Kawase, unpublished results) and in human subjects with perennial allergic rhinitis. 19) In a previous study, chromosomal DNA from both Lactobacillus GG and L. gasseri TMC0356 was found to be a potent stimulator of the immune responses of host animals, although those from Lactobacillus GG had stronger effects. 20) The combination of Lactobacillus GG and L. gasseri TMC0356 may favor Th1-type immunity of the host, by which the IgE-mediated inflammatory responses may be down-regulated and consequently the decrease in vascular permeability may be exhibited.…”
