3 - B1C207 SPEAKER INFORMATION Name(성함): Jaeyul
Kwon (권재열) Position and Department (직장과 직함): Professor, Department of Medical Education, Department
of Infection Biology, Chungnam National University College of Medicine Seminar Title (강연제목): The study of a standardized evaluation system for
immunity-boosting functional food Abstract (초록) The
first half of this talk will introduce the development of a standardized
evaluation system for immunity-boosting functional food using bone
marrow-derive dendritic cells. Dendritic cells (DC) are specialized
antigen-presenting cells that initiate and orchestrate the body’s immune
response to bridge the innate and adaptive systems. A DC-based evaluation
system can indicate the type, magnitude, and specificity of immune responses.
We monitored the expression profile of DC maturation markers, including CD11b,
CD11c, CD40, PD-L1/L2, CD80, CD86, and MHC, by flow cytometry to define
immunity indexes for an immunity-boosting food candidate. These indexes are
then consolidated to a 4-point scale to describe the immunogenic and
tolerogenic capabilities of the immunity-boosting food candidate.
The
second half of this talk will address the mission, goals, and social
contribution activities of Chungnam National University in South Korea.
