Research Abstract |
Effect of probiotics was evaluated with consideration of "effect on intestinal epithelial cells" and "host specificity". This study showed most probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) did not affect considerably on gene expression of intestinal epithelial cells under physical condition but not inflammatory status. Additionally no host specificity was found at least in in vitro co-culture system of splenocyte, mesenteric lymph node tissue with LAB. Thus, probiotic strains effective on pigs could be screened by using mouse cells.
