TI  - Lactobacilli as natural enhancer of cellular immune response.
PG  - 199-203
AB  - Extract: Dendritic cells (DCs), widely distributed in lymphoid (containing 
      lymphocytes) and non-lymphoid tissue, are a complex, heterogeneous group of 
      multifunctional antigen-presenting cells that comprise an essential component of 
      the immune system. For well over a decade, dendritic cells have been recognized 
      as an essential component of both the host innate and adaptive immune responses. 
      DCs, due to their differential regulation and initiation of acquired immune 
      responses, are at the forefront of current research in immunobiology and 
      vaccinology. Recent reports suggest that certain types of antigens (a substance 
      capable of inducing an immune response) differentially govern DC activation and 
      maturation, which ultimately influence the entire immune response. Various 
      species of Lactobacillus (a bacterium found ubiquitously in the mouth, intestinal 
      tract, and vagina) have been shown to differentially regulate dendritic cells and 
      enhance their ability to prime specific immune responses and, thus, they may have 
      great utility as future vaccine adjuvants.
