Enhanced Immune Functions of In Vitro Human Natural Killer Cells and Splenocytes in Immunosuppressed Mice Supplemented with Mature Silkworm Products
These results suggest that WJ-HJ enhances immune modulation and immune surveillance functions of NK cells by improving mitochondrial and cytotoxic functions. WJ-HJ holds promise as a functional food for immune enhancement, pending clinical validation.
