| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In macrophage cells, the cell wall components of budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains with altered sugar chains produced fewer inflammatory cytokines than wild-type yeast. In BMDCs, cell wall components of yeast strains with N-linked oligosaccharides consisting of eight mannoses (M8) induced many cytokines, and some of the M8 strains suppressively regulated the production of cytokines. In addition, some cell wall components of strain M8 were shown to strongly induce Dectin-1 expression in splenic normal dendritic cells (cDC). On the other hand, we did not find a potent inducer of retinoic acid synthase expression, which can confer the ability to induce antigen-specific IgA antibodies.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
出芽酵母の細胞壁を構成するマンナンは全身性免疫を活性化することが知られている。免疫細胞の活性化の程度はリガンドの量や分子量、構造によって左右されることから、細胞壁成分の構造や組成を変えることができれば、より強いIgA抗体およびIgG抗体産生誘導能の獲得に繋がり、そのような細胞壁構造の情報は効果的なワクチンの開発に役立つ。
