Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. (amaranth) is a nutritionally protein rich plant with a good yield, but there has been no research concerning its immunological effects in vivo or in vitro. In the present study, we examined the effects of amaranth grain on cytokine and IgE production using in vitro helper T cell development and IgE production assays and an animal model of an orally-induced, allergen-specific...
We established a real-time quantitative RT-PCR assay that permits rapid and sensitive screening of foods that increase the human β-defensin-2 (hBD-2) mRNA level in human foreskin keratinocyte (HFK) cells. The range of hBD-2 mRNA concentrations suitable for the assay was between 8 × 10−11 M (39-cycle amplification) and 8 × 10−18 M (13-cycle amplification) as calibrated with standard hBD-2 cDNA. With...
