EVALUATION METHOD AND SCREENING METHOD FOR SUBSTANCE HAVING ACTION OF ACTIVATING/SUPPRESSING INNATE IMMUNITY, AGENT AND FOOD PRODUCT FOR ACTIVATING/SUPPRESSING INNATE IMMUNE MECHANISM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

It is intended to provide an evaluation method and a screening method capable of eliminating a substance that disturbs in vivo kinetics in an individual and capable of simply and easily searching a substance having an action of activating/suppressing an innate immune mechanism without being affected by LPS derived from bacteria, which can be contaminated during the search, as well as a drug and a food for activating/suppressing the innate immune mechanism, and methods of producing the same. The present invention provides a method of evaluating or screening the substance having the action of activating/suppressing the innate immune mechanism using a muscular contraction of an organism having the innate immune mechanism as an indicator, and methods of producing the drug and the food for activating/suppressing the innate immune mechanism. Also, an innate immunity activator and the food having the action of activating the innate immune mechanism containing the substance having the action of contracting the muscle of the organism having the innate immune mechanism, and an innate immunity suppressor and the food having the action of suppressing the innate immunity containing the substance having the action of suppressing the contraction of the muscle of the organism having the innate immune mechanism are provided.
