ABSTRACT
Microorganisms with the ability to modulate the immune system (immunobiotics) have shown to interact with different pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) expressed in nonimmune and immune cells and exert beneficial effects on host's health maintenance and promotion. Suitable assay systems are necessary for an efficient and rapid screening of potential immunobiotic strains. More than a decade of research has allowed us to develop efficient in vitro models based on porcine receptors and cells (porcine immunoassay systems) to study the immunomodulatory effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). In addition, detailed studies of model immunobiotic LAB strains with proved abilities to improve immune health in humans (Lactobacillus rhamnosus CRL1505) or pigs (Lactobacillus jensenii TL2937) allowed us to select the most suitable biomarkers that have to be evaluated in those porcine immunoassay systems. Our in vitro models, utilizing transfectant cells expressing PRRs along with an established porcine intestinal epitheliocyte (PIE) cell line, have proven to be valuable tools for immunobiotic selection and for gaining insights into the molecular mechanisms responsible for their beneficial effects.
