Research Abstract

Immunostimulating effects of various health foods were studied using murine macrophage cell line. These foods were added to the culture medium of the cell line, and, as an index of the effects, morphological changes of the cell were searched under the microscope. As a result, among the health foods tested, immunostimulating effects could be expected in agaricus and extracts from Lentinula edodes mycelia (LEM). Next, anti-Listeria monocytogenes activities of these foods were examined. The agaricus-treated cells had increased anti-Listeria activity than the non-treated cells, which was suggested to derive from active oxygen dependence.
