Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ayami Kunitoh-Asari"
- Ayami Kunitoh-Asari's research primarily focuses on the role of lactic acid bacteria in enhancing the mucosal immune response, particularly through the induction of secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) production.
- One significant study published in PLoS One demonstrates that oral administration of Lactobacillus plantarum strain AYA enhances IgA secretion and provides survival protection against influenza virus infection in mice, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent for viral infections.
- The study involved screening 140 strains of lactic acid bacteria to identify those with the capability to stimulate IgA production in murine Peyer's patch cells, indicating a systematic approach to identifying probiotics for immune support.
