IgE ANTIBODY PRODUCTION REDUCING AGENT AND ALLERGIC CONSTITUTION AMELIORANT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain both an IgE antibody production reducing agent and an allergic constitution ameliorant capable of not only carrying out the prophylaxis/ therapy of allergies by reducing the IgE antibody production but also correcting the Th1/Th2 cell balance and ameliorating the allergic constitution by enhancing the production of interleukine-12 (IL-12)/or interferon-γ(IFN-γ). SOLUTION: The IgE antibody production reducing agent and allergic constitution ameliorant comprise raffinose as an active ingredient.
