The present invention relates to a novel lactic acid bacteria having immune enhancing activity, and more particularly, to Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum having immune enhancing activity. The Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum according to the present invention not only promotes cross-presentation of dendritic cells to exogenous antigens but also directly activates macrophages to induce the production of NO and TNF-α. Therefore, the lactic acid bacteria according to the present invention can be used in various preparations for immunostimulants, probiotics, formal preparations, feed additives, food additives and other fermented products.n n n n Bifidobacterium Pseudocatenuratum, Immune Enhancement, Cross-presentation |
