摘要：Various immune responses have been influenced by probiotics and these immunomodulatory effects have been proposed for several potential applications such as the prevention of infectious diarrhoea, alleviation of hypersensitivity reactions and tumour suppression. The new probiotic product from LURA d. d., low fat fresh cheese "BioAktiv LGG", contains well-known probiotic strain Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG). The viable count of L. rhamnosus GG remained stable and has been 1.3x108 CFU/g of low fat fresh cheese "BioAktiv LGG" during storage of 16 days at 4 0C. The effect of L. rhamnosus GG from this product on the immune response, as an important point in relation to immunomodulation, and its survival/residence time in the gastrointestinal tract in Swiss albino mice was also studied. During the feeding of mice with L. rhamnosus GG, with a daily dose of 2.2x1010 cells, the number of lactobacilli in faeces was increased and reduction of enterobacteria and sulphite-reducing clostridia was observed. The similar results were obtained in homogenates of large intestine of mice in the 1st and in the 14th day after feeding with L. rhamnosus GG, which pointed out the adherence ability of examined strain. Furthermore, the oral immunization of Swiss albino mice was performed with a dose of 2.2x1010 L. rhamnosus GG cells per day, for eight consecutive days. The blood samples were collected on the 4th, 8th, 10th, 14th and 21st day after the 1st immunization. The sera of mice were tested for total and specific anti-lactobacilli IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies by ELISA assay. L. rhamnosus GG slightly stimulated the total humoral immune response but didn't evoke reaction against itself, which confirms its probiotic properties and make new probiotic product, low fat fresh cheese "BioAktiv LGG", as good carrier for this probiotic strain.
