The present invention addresses the problem of providing an antibody titer-increasing agent, such as an adjuvant, capable of sustaining an effect achieved by, for example, vaccination, which is an antibody titer-increasing agent such as an adjuvant that is safe, convenient and economical and can be easily taken irrespective of age, and a method for manufacturing the same. A method for increasing an antibody titer and a method for enhancing the effect of a vaccine, each method comprising usingsubspeciesOLL1073R-1 or a culture thereof; and an antibody titer-increasing agent such as an adjuvant that comprisessubspeciesOLL1073R-1 or a culture thereof.

Antibody titer-increasing agent using lactic acid bacterium

The inventors have found that vitamin K3 and vitamin K5 which may be used in pharmaceuticals and foods or ACNQ, DHNA, or the like which can stimulate the growth of bifidobacteria can inhibit degranulation of basophil-like cells, exhibit a potent degranulation-inhibiting effect, and are useful anti-allergic agents or foods. The present invention provides an anti-allergic agent containing, as an active ingredient, one or more species selected from among 2-amino-3-carboxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid, 1,4-naphthoquinone, 4-amino-2-methyl-1-naphthol, 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone, 2-amino-3-chloro-1,4-naphthoquinone, and a salt thereof.
