The modulation and mechanism of probiotic-derived polysaccharide capsules on the immune response in allergic diseases.

Allergic diseases, derived from the dysregulation of immune tolerance mechanisms, have been rising in the last two decades. Recently, increasing evidence has shown that probiotic-derived polysaccharide capsules exhibit a protective effect against allergic diseases, involving regulation of Th1/Th2 balance, induction of differentiation of T regulatory cells and activation of dendritic cells (DCs). DCs have a central role in controlling the immune response through their interaction with gut microbiota their pattern recognition receptors, including Toll-like receptors and C-type-lectin receptors.
