Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a vaccine effective for protection against infection by Streptococcus species that causes mastitis in livestock and other animals. Specifically, the present invention provides a vaccine comprising a non-encapsulated strain of Streptococcus species as an antigen, and in particular, a vaccine for preventing mastitis developed by infection by Streptococcus uberis.

Abstract: Methane production from ruminant digestion is reduced by allowing a ruminant to be fed on feed containing unfermented coffee grounds.

Abstract: Species of human-derived bacteria belonging to the Clostridia class have been shown to induce accumulation of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in the colon and suppress immune functions. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these bacteria can be used to prevent and treat immune-mediated diseases such as autoimmune diseases.

Abstract: Strains of human-derived bacteria have been obtained from complex fecal samples and shown to induce accumulation of Th17 cells in the intestine and promote immune functions. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these bacteria can be used as anti-infectives and as adjuvants in mucosal vaccines.

Abstract: There are provided a method and a kit for evaluating allergen inactivators, the method and kit making it possible to carry out a precise and reproducible evaluation irrespective of the type of test drug, or the type of accompanying components thereof, that is subject to the evaluation.

Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a lactic acid bacterium-containing composition that is effective for suppression of the onset of allergies. More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition comprising lactic acid bacteria belonging to Lactobacillus animalis, wherein the composition is provided in the form of, for example, a food or beverage composition, a pharmaceutical composition, a feed composition, a sanitary composition or the like. Furthermore, the present invention provides a method for preventing the onset of allergies.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of treating graft-versus-host disease in a subject by administering pharmaceutical compositions containing bacterial strains of the Clostridia class. Also described herein are exemplary human-derived bacteria belonging to the Clostridia class, combinations of which have been shown to induce accumulation of regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in the colon and suppress immune functions, and are therefore useful for mitigating pathological immune responses. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these and/or related bacteria can be used to prevent and treat immune-mediated diseases such as graft-versus-host disease.

Abstract: There is provided with a method of treating cancer. A set of administration of a compound represented by General Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to a patient, at a dose such that 8 mg/kg or less of the compound represented by General Formula (I) is administered, and irradiation to the patient immediately following the administration is repeated. A total dosage of the irradiation to a cancer is 10 Gy or more.

Abstract: The prevent invention provides an activated T cell in which the expression of an immune checkpoint molecule is suppressed, a method for producing the T cell, and a method for screening for a substance that can be used in the production of the T cell. Specifically, the prevent invention includes, as solving means, a method for producing or inducing a T cell in which the expression of an immune checkpoint molecule is not induced, the method comprising reducing or losing the function of UDP-glucose ceramide glucosyltransferase (UGCG) or ganglioside in a T cell, and a T cell produced or induced by the aforementioned method.
