Anti-allergic effect

A type I allergic reaction was induced by applying a mixture of acetone and olive oil containing dinitrophenyl benzene (DNFB) to the ears of mice to which anti-DNP-IgE had previously administered intravenously. Compared with a control group (mice not treated with Rice Kefiran) mice that were fed 250 mg/kg of Rice Kefiran per day for 14 days showed suppressed type I allergic reactions. The control group also showed a delayed allergic reaction 24 hours after the induced reaction, while the group treated with Rice Kefiran did not.
