【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、乳酸菌に属するラクトバチルス( Lactobacillus )の菌体またはその処理物を含んでなる免疫賦活剤に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
生体内の免疫系は、細菌、酵母、カビ、ウイルスなどの微生物による感染や、腫瘍に対する防御に重要な役割を果たしており、その防御機構の中心はTリンパ球である。Tリンパ球はこれらの微生物や腫瘍を、抗原受容体を介して認識することにより刺激を受け、抗原特異的に活性化され、これらの異物を排除する能力を高める。常に微生物に曝され、また細胞が変異している生体内では、こうしたTリンパ球は抗原受容体を介して常に活性化される一方で、抗原受容体以外の経路でも抗原非特異的に活性化されている。抗原特異的および抗原非特異的のいずれの活性化においても、他からの刺激、すなわち共刺激が加わるとTリンパ球の活性化はさらに促進される。現在用いられている免疫賦活剤は、免疫担当細胞を非特異的に活性化することにより、微生物感染、腫瘍に対する生体の防御機構を高めるものであるが、有効性において満足しうるものは少なく、また、これらの免疫賦活剤は、一般に作用の特異性が低いため、たとえばBリンパ球の活性化による全身性エリテマトーデス、慢性関節リュウマチ等の自己免疫疾患のような副作用が懸念される。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、自体免疫賦活作用を有し、さらに他の免疫賦活物質と併用することにより、より強い免疫賦活作用を示し、実質的に副作用がなくたとえば食品に配合して投与することもできる免疫賦活剤を提供することを目的とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、前記課題を解決するため免疫賦活剤に関する研究を重ねたところ、乳酸菌の1種であるラクトバチルス・プランタラム(Lactobacillus plantarum)L−137株の菌体がTリンパ球共刺激作用を示すことを見いだした。また該菌体が抗原受容体を介する刺激により活性化されたTリンパ球の活性をさらに上昇させ、また抗原受容体以外の経路により抗原非特異的に活性化されたTリンパ球の活性をも上昇させることを突き止めた。これらのTリンパ球の活性化に伴い、Tリンパ球のインターフェロン−γの産生が増強される一方、Bリンパ球への抗原受容体を介する刺激および抗原受容体以外の経路による活性化は抑制される事実も判明した。これとは別に該菌体がマクロファージのインターロイキン12の産生を選択的に促進する作用を有していることも判明した。すなわち、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムL−137菌体は、抗原受容体を介するTリンパ球の活性化を上昇させることにより、生体内で常時起こっている微生物および腫瘍細胞に対する排除反応を高め、特にインターフェロン−γの産生を増強することから、ウイルスや腫瘍に対する防御能を高める。しかし、単独ではリンパ球をほとんど活性化しないことから、生体にとって好ましくない免疫応答を誘導せず、また、Bリンパ球の抗原受容体を介する活性化や抗原非特異的な活性化を抑制することにより、免疫賦活に伴い予測されるBリンパ球のポリクローナルな活性化により誘導される自己免疫疾患等は増悪させない。またラクトバチリス・プランタラムL−137菌体は、腫瘍細胞傷害性を有するナチュラルキラー細胞を活性化するサイトカインであるインターロイキン12のマクロファージからの産生を高める結果、腫瘍に対する防御能を特に高めるとともに、後天性免疫不全症候群(AIDS)の発症予防にも有用である。しかし腫瘍壊死因子αの産生は軽度にしか上昇させないため、通常のマクロファージの活性化剤により上昇する腫瘍壊死因子αにより引き起こされる、発熱、体重減少、エンドトキシンショックへの感受性増大などの副作用を誘導しない。このように、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムL−137菌体は副作用がなく常用に適した免疫賦活剤であり、また該菌体は抗原非特異的なTリンパ球の活性化を上昇させたり、またマクロファージによるインターロイキン12の産生を促進するので他の免疫賦活剤との併用も有効であることを見いだし本発明を完成するに至った。すなわち、本発明は、Tリンパ球共刺激作用とBリンパ球抑制作用または/およびインターロイキン12産生促進作用を有するラクトバチルス・プランタラムL−137株(FERM P−15317)の菌体を含んでなる免疫賦活剤、である。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明に用いられる菌は、ラクトバチルス属に属し、Tリンパ球共刺激作用およびBリンパ球活性化抑制作用または/およびマクロファージのインターロイキン12産生を促進する作用を有するものであればどのような菌でもよい。
菌のTリンパ球共刺激作用並びにBリンパ球活性抑制作用は、たとえばマウス脾臓細胞をフィトヘマグルチニン等のTリンパ球増殖刺激物質またはリポポリサッカライドなどのBリンパ球増殖刺激物質を含む培地で培養するときラクトバチルス属に属する菌を添加し、一定期間培養して培地中の細胞のミトコンドリア代謝活性を臭化3−(4,5−ジメチル−2−チアゾリル)−2,5−ジフェニル−2H−テトラゾリウムを用いて測定する比色定量法により容易に判定することができる。
菌のマクロファージのインターロイキン12産生促進作用は、たとえばマウス腹腔マクロファージを組織培養プレートで培養し、ラクトバチリス属に属する菌を添加し一定期間培養して培地中のインターロイキン12濃度をエンザイムイムノアッセイで測定することにより容易に判定することができる。
本発明の免疫賦活剤との共刺激作用によりTリンパ球の活性を上昇させる物質、すなわち本発明の免疫賦活剤と併用しうる免疫賦活剤としては、たとえばインターロイキン2などのサイトカイン類、フィトヘマグルチニンなどのレクチン類、抗CD3抗体などの抗Tリンパ球表面抗原抗体などが挙げられる。
【0006】
本発明に用いられるラクトバチルス属に属する菌の代表的なものとしてラクトバチルス・プランタラムL−137を挙げることができるが、この菌は工業技術院生命工学工業技術研究所に平成7年11月30日に受託番号FERM P−15317,微工研 菌寄第15317号として寄託されている。
ラクトバチルス・プランタラムL−137は、フィリピンの発酵食品ブロングイスダ(Burong isda)から分離された微生物であり、特定の糖類(グルコン酸、アラビノース、ラムノースおよびスターチ)に対する資化性が、ラクトバチルス・プランタラム(Lactobacillus plantarum)JCM 1149基準株およびラクトバチルス・プランタラムL−051(微工研菌寄第11912号)と相違する。すなわち、下記の糖類に対して次のような資化性を示す。
グルコン酸 −
アラビノース −
ラムノース −
スターチ +
さらに、ラクトバチルス・プランタラムL−137と前記ラクトバチルス・プランタラムJCM 1149基準株およびラクトバチルス・プランタラムL−051株との菌学的性質を対比すると、〔表1〕の通りである。
【0007】
【表1】
【0008】
以上の菌学的性質、および細胞壁のペプチドグリカンタイプがメゾ−ジアミノピメリン酸(meso-diaminopimelic acid)であること、さらに、L−137菌株と22タイプの乳酸菌基準株との間での DNA-DNA交雑実験法を行ったところ、L−137菌株はラクトバチルス・プランタラムにのみ強くDNAの相同性が得られたことにより、本発明に用いられる微生物はラクトバチルス・プランタラムと同定された。
本発明の微生物については、Journal of Fermentation and Bioengineering, Vol.73, No.3, 193-197(1992)及び Vol. 80, No.2, 124-130(1995)にも報告されている。
本発明の免疫賦活剤は、ラクトバチルス属に属し、Tリンパ球共刺激作用とBリンパ球活性化抑制作用を有する菌を天然培地、合成培地、半合成培地などの培地に培養することにより得ることができる。
培地としては、窒素源および炭素源を含有するものが用いられる。窒素源としてはたとえば、肉エキス、ペプトン、グルテン、カゼイン、酵母エキス、アミノ酸等であり、炭素源としては、たとえば、グルコース、キシロース、フラクトース、イノシトール、水アメ、麹汁、澱粉、バカス、フスマ、糖蜜、グリセリン等が用いられる。
このほか、無機質として、たとえば硫酸アンモニウム、リン酸カリウム、塩化マグネシウム、食塩、鉄、マンガン、モリブデン更に各種ビタミン類その他を添加することができる。

前記果菜類などの処理物は、通常、ブランチング処理及び/又は殺菌処理に供された後、前記乳酸菌による発酵に供される。ブランチング処理は、前記果菜類などやその処理物、特に果菜類やその切断物を加熱処理し、酵素活性を失活させることにより行うことができ、ブランチング処理の後、遠心分離やフィルタープレスなどの方法で搾汁しジュースを得る場合が多い。また、殺菌処理は、ブランチング処理された前記果菜類などやその処理物、特に搾汁類について行う場合が多い。なお、ブランチング処理および殺菌処理は、風味を損なわない範囲で選択でき、ブランチング処理は、慣用の方法、例えば、必要に応じてオートクレーブを用い、70〜100℃で短時間処理することにより行うことができる。殺菌処理は、慣用の方法、例えば、70〜125℃程度の温度又は高温短時間で加熱殺菌する方法、紫外線などの光線を照射する方法などが採用できる。
前記微生物による発酵は、前記乳酸菌を搾汁類などの処理物に直接接種して行ってもよいが、通常、適当な培地や前記処理物を用いて馴化培養した前記乳酸菌をスターターとして搾汁類などの処理物に接種して行う場合が多い。発酵は、慣用の方法、例えば、処理物に対して0.5〜3重量%程度のスターターを接種し、25〜40℃(例えば、25〜38℃)、好ましくは27〜38℃(例えば、27〜35℃)程度で行うことができる。発酵時間は、果菜類などの処理物の種類などに応じて、例えば、数時間〜数日間程度の範囲から選択できる。
本発明の好ましい態様には、ニンジンなどの緑黄色野菜、果物及び穀類のうちの少なくとも一種の処理物(特に野菜および果物のうち少なくとも一種から得られた搾汁類)を前記乳酸菌で発酵させ、乳酸菌発酵飲料(緑黄色野菜ジュース、果物ジュースなど)やその加工品(緑黄色野菜ゼリー,スプレットなど)として得る方法が含まれる。

なお、発酵に際しては、必要に応じて、他の微生物、例えば、乳酸菌(ラクトバチルス・プランタラム、ラクトバチルス・カゼイ、ラクトバチルス・ラムノサスなど)やエンテロコッカス属微生物(エンテロコッカス・フェカーリスなど)、酵母などを併用してもよい。
さらに、必要に応じて、前記処理物に、種々の添加剤、例えば、ビタミン、アミノ酸、ミネラル、植物繊維、糖類、蜂蜜などの甘味料、香料、牛乳、脱脂粉乳などの乳成分、果汁などを添加して発酵させてもよく、得られた乳酸菌発酵物に前記添加剤を添加してもよい。
このようにして、果菜類などの処理物を前記乳酸菌により発酵させると、得られる乳酸菌発酵物の風味を改善できる。この方法により得られた乳酸菌発酵物は、被発酵処理物が臭いのきつい果菜類や穀類を含んでいても、不快臭を顕著に低減できるとともに、加熱による不快臭も抑制できる。また、乳酸菌の発酵により適度な酸味(例えば、pH4〜5程度)を呈するとともに、官能的に優れた風味を有しており、極めて容易に食することができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an immunostimulant comprising a bacterial body of Lactobacillus belonging to lactic acid bacteria or a processed product thereof.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The in vivo immune system plays an important role in defense against microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, mold and virus, and defense against tumors, and the center of the defense mechanism is T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes are stimulated by recognizing these microorganisms and tumors via antigen receptors, are activated specifically for antigens, and increase the ability to eliminate these foreign substances. In living organisms that are constantly exposed to microorganisms and whose cells are mutated, these T lymphocytes are always activated through antigen receptors, while they are also non-antigen-specifically activated in pathways other than antigen receptors. Has been. In both antigen-specific and non-antigen-specific activation, the activation of T lymphocytes is further promoted by the addition of other stimuli, ie, costimulation. Currently used immunostimulants enhance the defense mechanism of the body against microbial infection and tumors by nonspecifically activating immunocompetent cells, but there are few that can be satisfied with effectiveness, Moreover, since these immunostimulants generally have low specificity of action, there are concerns about side effects such as autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis caused by activation of B lymphocytes.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has an immunostimulatory effect itself, and further exhibits a stronger immunostimulatory effect when used in combination with other immunostimulatory substances, and has substantially no side effects, and can be administered in combination with food, for example. An object is to provide an activator.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventors have this filtrate and overlaid research on adjuvants for solving the above problem, Lactobacillus plantarum is a kind of lactic acid bacterium (Lactobacillus plantarum) cells of L-137 strain T-lymphocytes co It was found to show a stimulating effect. In addition, the activity of T lymphocytes activated by stimulation through the antigen receptor is further increased, and the activity of T lymphocytes activated nonspecifically by a pathway other than the antigen receptor is also increased. I found it to rise. With the activation of these T lymphocytes, the production of interferon-γ of T lymphocytes is enhanced, while the stimulation by B via the antigen receptor and the activation by pathways other than the antigen receptor are suppressed. The fact was also found. Apart from this, it was also found that the cells have an action of selectively promoting the production of macrophage interleukin 12. In other words, Lactobacillus plantarum L-137 cells increase the activation of T lymphocytes via antigen receptors, thereby enhancing the elimination reaction against microorganisms and tumor cells that are constantly occurring in the living body. -Enhance production against viruses and tumors by enhancing γ production. However, since it hardly activates lymphocytes alone, it does not induce an immune response unfavorable for the living body, and suppresses activation of B lymphocytes through antigen receptors and non-specific activation of antigens. Thus, autoimmune diseases induced by polyclonal activation of B lymphocytes predicted with immune activation are not exacerbated. In addition, Lactobacillus plantarum L-137 cells increase the production of interleukin 12, which is a cytokine that activates natural killer cells having tumor cytotoxicity, from macrophages, and as a result, increase the protective ability against tumors. It is also useful for preventing the onset of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). However, tumor necrosis factor-α production is only slightly increased and does not induce side effects such as fever, weight loss, increased sensitivity to endotoxin shock caused by tumor necrosis factor-α, which is increased by normal macrophage activators . Thus, Lactobacillus plantarum L-137 has no side effects and is an immunostimulant suitable for daily use, and the cell increases the activation of non-antigen-specific T lymphocytes. since it promotes the production of interleukin-12 by macrophages and have completed the present invention found to be also effective in combination with other adjuvants. That is, the present invention includes a bacterial body of Lactobacillus plantarum L-137 strain (FERM P-15317) having T lymphocyte co-stimulatory action and B lymphocyte inhibitory action or / and interleukin 12 production promoting action. An immunostimulator.
