Abstract

Upon prolonged immunogenic stimulation, an antigen-specific adaptive defense response is initiated. The established signaling of the innate defense phase is transferred to the adaptive phase of the defense response by the immune cells involved through PRRs and CRs. Various food-associated carbohydrate and peptide structures, fatty acids as well as bacteria and yeasts can already indirectly influence adaptive immune responses. Food is essential for the development and maintenance of these immune functions, but it can also cause pathological–immunological hyperreactions.
