Article Abstract
In this study, we evaluated the immunity-enhancing effects of A. Berger (OJ). To examine the immune protective effect in vitro, primary mouse splenocytes were treated with water or ethanol extracts of OJ in the absence or presence of cyclophosphamide (CY), which is a cytotoxic, immunosuppressive agent. The extracts increased the propagation of splenocytes and inhibited CY-induced cytotoxicity. Further, to examine the immunostimulatory effects , adult Wistar rats were orally administered OJ extracts with or without CY treatment. With the administration of OJ extracts, CY-treated immunosuppressed rats showed improved physical endurance, as assessed by the forced swim test. In addition, extract administration increased not only the number of immunity-related cells but also the levels of plasma cytokines. OJ extracts also recovered splenic histology in CY-treated rats. These findings suggest that an OJ regimen can enhance immunity by increasing immune cell propagation and specific plasma cytokine levels.

Lactobacillus-derived extracellular vesicles (LEVs) are emerging as pivotal mediators of interkingdom communication, carrying strain-specific bioactive cargo that influences diverse physiological systems, including the gut, nervous, respiratory, reproductive, and integumentary systems. These nanoscale structures demonstrate significant therapeutic potential, modulating host immunity, enhancing barrier integrity, combating pathogens, and contributing to tissue repair across numerous health contexts. However, realizing their full clinical and biotechnological promise faces substantial hurdles.

Influenza vaccines that provide more effective immunity to seasonal influenza as well as protection against a broad range of emerging influenza viruses with pandemic potential are needed to reduce the public-health burden of influenza and enhance pandemic preparedness. The Influenza Vaccines Research and Development (R&D) Roadmap (IVR) was published in 2021 to serve as a strategic planning tool to advance influenza vaccine R&D. Following IVR publication, a 3-year monitoring, evaluation, and adjustment (ME&A) program was implemented to assess progress in meeting the milestones outlined in the IVR.
