Abstract

The mechanisms underlying the pharmacological effects of kakkonto in murine food allergy model were examined. As a result, kakkonto facilitated the differentiation from naive helper T cells to CD25 negative CD3+CD4+FR4+Foxp3+T cells in the immunological responses within the mucosal immune system of the intestine and thereby alleviated the allergic responses. However, the further detailed investigation of the underlying mechanisms is needed.
