Regulation of Stress-Induced Immunosuppression in the Context of Neuroendocrine, Cytokine, and Cellular Processes by Evgenii Balakin, Ksenia Yurku, Mark Ivanov, Alexander Izotov, Valeriya Nakhod, Vasiliy Pustovoyt

“…The reviewed publications provided detailed descriptions of the neuroendocrine and cytokine processes underlying immune response suppression under stress. A significant portion of the data confirms that the activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis and subsequent elevation of cortisol levels exert substantial immunosuppressive effects on immune cells, particularly macrophages and lymphocytes, leading to the suppression of innate and adaptive immune responses. …”

IMMUNOMODULATORY ACTIVITY OF THE LACTOBACILLUS DELBRUECKII SUBSP. BULGARICUS LB 86 ENZYME LYSATE by L. Lаzarenko, L. Orіabinska, T. Bohdan

“…The enzyme lysate of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus LB86 showed immunomodulatory activity aimed at altering the activity of macrophages, as well as the production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, which are involved in balancing the immune response of the Th1- and Th2- type. Under the action of this enzyme lysate in vitro, the indicator of phagocytosis (PhI) of the peritoneal cavity macrophages of intact BALB/c mice was enhanced and after its intragastric administration to these mice, the increase of the parameters of spontaneous and stimulated NBT test of macrophages was observed and increase (on the 6th day after its introduction) in the levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ in the blood serum of mice treated with this enzyme lysate was noted against the background of an increase in the ratio of INF-γ/IL-4, which also indicated its potential ability to activate the cellular immune response. …”
