Abstract
Objectives. - Link-Amster reported an increase in serum IgA when healthy subjects ingested a fermented dairy product containing Lactobacillus johnsonii La1. We aimed to assess the effects of La1 on the jejunal secretions and serum concentrations of total and specific immunoglobulins and proteins. Methods. - Twelve healthy volunteers ingested a fermented milk containing La1 or a control from day 1 till day 28, following a randomised double blind protocol. At days 0 and 28, the jejunum was successively perfused with a control solution and with a La1 suspension. The serum concentrations and jejunal secretions of albumin, orosomucoid, transferrin, alpha 2-macroglobulin, m-IgA, p-IgA, IgG, IgM, secretory component, and specific antibodies against La1 were assessed. Results. - Serum concentrations of IgA slightly increased between d0 and d28 in the group receiving La1 (1.85 +/- 0.64 g/L vs 1.76 +/- 0.76; P = 0.02). The other parameters were not altered. Conclusion. - This study shows that the immunomodulating effects of La1 ingestion in man are not due to modification of jejunal protein permeability.
