Abstract
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are physiologically activated by interleukin (IL)-2. We found that oyster extract (JCOE) currently used as a functional nutrient enhanced in vitro the IL-2 dependent activation as measured by cell count. 3H-thymidine uptake and up-regulation of a IL-2 receptor. In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seropositive individuals, this oyster extract-induced effect was marked in asymptomatic individuals with quasi-normal CD4 cell counts, but was weakly reflected in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients.Entities:
