摘要:There is an ever-increasing demand for lupin seed protein in human nutrition.
However, their usage as a food ingredient can be limited by their influence on
the immune system. The aim of the study was to analyse, by means of flow
cytometry, the potential of lupin seed globulins to induce the respiratory burst
in human neutrophils. The results proved the potential of lupin globulins to
induce the increased ROS production in human neutrophils. The increased ROS
production by the cells treated with lupin globulins and, at the same time,
stimulated with the PMA may suggest a synergistic effect of the globulins and
the PMA.
