Eicosapentaenoic acid modulates the immune response but has no effect on a mimic of antigen-specific responses

The present study found that, rather than producing a generalized immunosuppression, the administration of approximately 10 g of EPA/kg of body weight has more subtle effects in modulating the immune system. The observed effects of EPA may explain some of its reported beneficial effects in inflammatory conditions without producing detrimental effects on antigen-specific immunosurveillance.
