Protein Concentration Affects the Food Allergen γ-Conglutin Uptake and Bacteria-Induced Cytokine Production in Dendritic Cells.

γ-Conglutin (γ-C) from lupin seeds has been identified as a potent allergen with cross reactivity to peanuts. Here, we investigated how γ-C affected the response in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) to bacterial stimuli. γ-C enhanced NCFM (LaNCFM)-induced IL-12, IL-10, and IL-23 dose-dependently.
