- Abstract
The article offers information on the study regarding the effect of extracts from Kjellmaniella crassifolia Miyabe (gagome), brown algae, to intestinal and systemic immune response. It says that gagome was administered to mice that are subcutaneously injected with ovalbumin (OVA). It mentions the increase of cytokines produce from antigen (Ag)-specific T cells found in the draining lymph nodes (DLN). It concludes that gagome could be used as immunomodulator and potent adjuvant.
