Definitions

  • the present invention relates to nutrition with a mixture of non-digestible oligosaccharides, and in particular to the use thereof for stimulating the immune system.
  • Human milk fed infants have a lower incidence of infections, including viral infections, than formula fed infants.
  • Many components in human milk including immunoglobulins (such as IgA), interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, interferon- ⁇ (IFN- ⁇ ), immunocompetent cells, transforming growth factor- ⁇ (TGF- ⁇ ), lactoferrin, nucleotides, and non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) are thought to be involved in protection against infection with enteric or respiratory pathogens.
  • NDO are a major constituent of human milk and are a major element of the innate immune system of human milk. Human NDO promote the growth of a beneficial microbiota dominated by bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Some human NDO are also known to be able to prevent directly the adhesion of pathogens and toxins.
  • Human milk is the preferred food for infants. However, it is not always possible or desirable to breast feed an infant. In such cases infant formulae or follow on formulae are a good alternative. These formulae should have an optimal composition in order to mimic the beneficial effects of breast milk as close as possible.
  • WO 2007/067053 discloses infant formula comprising the plant-derived prebiotics inulin and galacturonic acid oligosaccharide and the from lactose synthesized prebiotic transgalacto-oligosaccharide to reduce infections.
  • WO 2005/039597 relates to the use of acid oligosaccharide and neutral oligosaccharide for enhancing the immune system and the treatment and/or prevention of immune system related disorders.
  • WO 01/642255 relates to a nutritional composition comprising a prebiotic for enhancement of an immune response.
  • the carbohydrate mixture is said to have both a nutritional and a biological effect which is considerably greater than the corresponding action of the individual constituents.
  • WO 99/11773 relates to methods of producing non-human transgenic mammals which produce various oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates in their milk.
  • Subject matter that is claimed in this document relates to the mammals themselves, the milk which they produce, compositions comprising the milk, fractions of the milk, and the purified oligosaccharides, as well as glycoconjugates, present in the milk.
  • WO 2005/055944 discloses a pharmaceutical composition
  • a pharmaceutical composition comprising a molecule comprising a fucose group in an ⁇ -1, 2 linkage, an ⁇ -1,3 linkage or an ⁇ -1,4 linkage to a galactose group and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
  • WO 2007/105945 relates to a food or supplement for pregnant women comprising water soluble, non-digestible saccharides.
  • the composition is used to improve the flora and/or immune system of the pregnant women, to improve the immune system of the infant and to improve the intestinal flora of the infant after birth.
  • EP 1 629 850 provides a method and composition for the treatment and/or prevention of respiratory tract infection and/or respiratory tract infection disease, said method comprising orally administering a composition to a mammal, said composition comprising a galactose containing indigestible oligosaccharide and at least 5 wt. % digestible galactose saccharide.
  • Human milk differs from milk from domestic animals in that it comprises more NDO and that the NDO are structurally different. Human NDO is very complex, since it represents a heterogenic group of more than 130 different compounds with diverse sugar composition. Because of their complex and polymorphic structure, large-scale synthesis is complicated. It is therefore not yet technically and economically feasible to prepare infant nutrition with an NDO composition identical to human milk.
  • the inventors unexpectedly have found that fucosyllactose (FL), an oligosaccharide present in human breast milk and with a relatively simple structure, when combined with betagalacto-oligosaccharides and preferably also with fructo-oligosaccharides and/or uronic acid oligosaccharides, showed a synergistic effect on stimulating the immune system.
  • An increased response in delayed type hypersensitivity reaction, indicative for an increased Th1 response was observed after vaccination with an influenza vaccine in animals having consumed the present combination of FL and betagalacto-oligosaccharides, compared to animals having consumed the single components.
  • the present combination i.e. the combination comprising fucosyllactose and betagalacto-oligosaccharides and preferably further comprising fructo-oligosaccharides and/or uronic acid oligosaccharides increased the Th1 response.
  • the effect observed was unexpectedly higher than the sum of the effects of the single components
  • the present combination is especially advantageous for human subjects having a reduced Th1 response in comparison with healthy adults, in particular newborn infants, elderly humans suffering from immunosenescence, humans suffering from AIDS or being infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and cancer patients that are or have been subjected to chemotherapy, radiation and cancer patients that are cachectic.
  • the present combination is suitable for treatment and/or prevention of infections, and/or for supporting vaccination response before, during and/or after vaccination.
  • the present combination is especially suitable for the treatment and/or prevention of diseases which can be prevented and/or treated by an increase in Th1 response and/or Th1/Th2 balance, in particular allergy, atopic dermatitis, asthma, food allergy, allergic rhinitis (e. g. pollen allergy), dust mite allergy and other forms of hypersensitivity like systemic anaphylaxis and acute urticaria.
  • diseases which can be prevented and/or treated by an increase in Th1 response and/or Th1/Th2 balance
  • allergy e. g. pollen allergy
  • dust mite allergy e. g. pollen allergy
  • other forms of hypersensitivity like systemic anaphylaxis and acute urticaria.
  • the present invention thus concerns a nutritional composition, not being human milk, comprising fucosyllactose and betagalacto-oligosaccharides.
  • the combination comprising fucosyllactose and betagalacto-oligosaccharides and preferably further comprising fructo-oligosaccharides and/or uronic acid oligosaccharides is also referred to as the present combination.
  • the terms a composition according to the invention or the composition or the present composition means a composition comprising the present combination.
  • the present combination comprises fucosyllactose.
  • Fucosyllactose (FL) is a non-digestible oligosaccharide present in human milk. It is not present in bovine milk. It consists of three monose units, fucose, galactose and glucose linked together. Lactose is a galactose unit linked to a glucose unit via a beta 1,4 linkage. A fucose unit is linked to a galactose unit of a lactose molecule via an alpha 1,2 linkage (2′-fucosyllactose, 2′-FL) or via an alpha 1,3 linkage to the glucose unit of a lactose (3-Fucosyllactose, 3-FL).
  • the present composition preferably comprises 2′-FL.
  • 2′-FL preferably ⁇ -L-Fuc-(1 ⁇ 2)- ⁇ -D-Gal-(1 ⁇ 4)-D-Glc, and 3-FL, preferably ⁇ -L-Fuc-(1 ⁇ 3)-[ ⁇ -D-Gal-(1 ⁇ 4)]-D-Glc
  • 3-FL preferably ⁇ -L-Fuc-(1 ⁇ 3)-[ ⁇ -D-Gal-(1 ⁇ 4)]-D-Glc

  • Betagalacto-oligosaccharides are Betagalacto-oligosaccharides
  • the present combination comprises betagalacto-oligosaccharides. It was found that the presence of betagalacto-oligosaccharides other than FL together with FL have a synergistic effect on immune stimulation, in particular vaccination response.
