Probiotics as immunomodulators: substances, mechanisms and therapeutic benefits
The human gut symbionts in whole and probiotics in particular promote intestinal function and health, partially via modulation of gut associated lymphoid tissue. Molecular basis of microbiota-host interaction is pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and their ligands, viz., microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMP). Immunomodulatory effects of probiotics are strain-specific, which is importan...
متن کاملPolysaccharide immunomodulators as therapeutic agents: structural aspects and biologic function.
Polysaccharide immunomodulators were first discovered over 40 years ago. Although very few have been rigorously studied, recent reports have revealed the mechanism of action and structure-function attributes of some of these molecules. Certain polysaccharide immunomodulators have been identified that have profound effects in the regulation of immune responses during the progression of infectiou...
متن کاملHarnessing the Helminth Secretome for Therapeutic Immunomodulators
Helminths are the largest and most complex pathogens to invade and live within the human body. Since they are not able to outpace the immune system by rapid antigen variation or faster cell division or retreat into protective niches not accessible to immune effector mechanisms, their long-term survival depends on influencing and regulating the immune responses away from the mode of action most ...
متن کاملBacterial Peptides as Immunomodulators
Mucosal surfaces are habitats for the physiological microflora and are closely related to the mucosal immune compartment (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, MALT). Recently, considerable evidence has been accumulated showing that defined members of the physiological microflora express/liberate low molecular weight substances (peptides) which apparently are essential for the adequate immune resp...
متن کاملAlcohol as a Therapeutic Agent
we have first to look at its effects in small doses and then in larger and constant doses. I will not enter into arguments about the harm, misery and crime it is responsible for, suffice it to say that it can save as well as destroy. Alcohol in moderate doses stimulates the brains, the respiratory and cardiac nerves, and produces capillary dilatation, diaphoresis, and a sensation of warmth, but...
