<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a lactic acid bacterium of the genus Lactobacillus that is useful for various uses such as food and beverage, feed, medicine, cosmetic, etc., and exhibits an immunologically high function. <P>SOLUTION: The lactic acid bacterium of the genus Lactobacillus has immunostimulatory activity/anti-allergic activity. The lactic acid bacterium is selected from the group consisting of Lactobacillus paracasei NHH2 strain (NITE P-262), Lactobacillus plantarum NHT4 strain (NITE P-264), Lactobacillus gasseri NHMT2 strain (NITE P-265) and Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salivarius NHMF1 strain (NITE P-263). The composition having an immunostimulatory activity/anti-allergic activity comprises the lactic acid bacterium as an active ingredient. The food and beverage, the feed, the cosmetic or the medicine contains the lactic acid bacterium or the composition. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
