AI Technical Summary
As organisms age, the immune system declines due to an increase in senescent T cells and a decrease in naive T cells, leading to reduced antigen responsiveness, which compromises the immune defense mechanism.
An antigen response enhancer containing Euglena, paramylon, or β-1,3-glucan is developed to promote the increase in naive T cells, enhance CD28 expression, and increase other immune markers such as CD80, CD86, and HLA-DR in monocytes, thereby boosting the immune response.
The enhancer effectively increases the number and activity of naive T cells and regulatory T cells, enhances antigen presentation, and improves overall immune function, counteracting immunosenescence.
