  7. A randomized controlled study funded by Morinaga<\/strong> showed that supplementation with Morinaga’s heat-inactivated Lactobacillus paracasei MCC1849 activates plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and helps maintain a healthy immune system. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group design study enrolled 100 healthy adults with an average age of 44 years and randomly assigned them to receive 50 billion CFU of MCC1849 or placebo for 4 weeks. Results showed that MCC1849 supplementation increased pDCs activity in the blood and was also associated with maintaining TLR9 ligand-stimulated transcription of type I and Il interferon (IFN). Relevant research results were published in the journal Nutrients. pDCs play a key role in pathogen recognition and adaptive immunity. It can induce the production of type I interferon in the process of recognizing viral antigens, and helps to send infection signals and promote communication between immune cells. The above studies suggest that the increase in pDCs activity is the potential mechanism by which MCC1849 prevents infection, relieves upper respiratory tract infections, and improves subjective symptoms. Lactobacillus paracasei MCC1849 is a postbiotic product produced by Morinaga Dairy Co., Ltd. through screening of preserved strains, high-density culture, enrichment and concentration, fixed heat inactivation, freeze-drying, and mixing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
