Kobe Gakuin University Reports Findings in Food Allergies (Ovalbumin-induced food allergy suppression via regulatory T cell expansion mediated by a TNFR2 agonist in mice).

A study conducted by Kobe Gakuin University in Japan focused on the suppression of ovalbumin-induced food allergies in mice by expanding regulatory T cells through a TNFR2 agonist. The research highlighted the importance of Tregs in maintaining immune tolerance and suggested that enhancing Treg function could offer new approaches to treating food allergies. The TNFR2 agonist, scR2agoTNF-Fc, was found to promote Treg expansion in mice and reduce allergic responses, indicating its potential effectiveness in treating food allergies. The study was published in Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications and has been peer-reviewed. [Extracted from the article]
