| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Lignin is the aromatic biopolymer composed by phenylpropanoids and constitutes the plant cell walls together with hemicellulose and cellulose. It is also known as the dietary fiber that regulates the intestinal environment, and soluble synthetic lignin prepared by peroxidase has been shown to exhibit immunoenhancing activity. To evaluate whether the lignin polymer could be applied as a novel immunoadjuvant material or not, a lignin-antigen complex was synthesized and analyzed the transport of the lignin-antigen complex to macrophages and the antibody-producing activity in the mouse.
