Abstract

Selenium, one of the essential elements of animals, participates in various life processes via selenoprotein, which plays an antioxidant role and others. A suitable concentration of selenium is vital for maintaining normal cell function. When selenoprotein levels decreased, normal physiological function may be inhibited and even dead. Meanwhile, the cellular immunity, humoral immunity and the balance of type 1 helper T cell/type 2 helper T cell (Th1/Th2) in animals are also influenced by the level of selenium. In this review, the function of selenoprotein and its effect on immunity were summarized to provide reference for further research.

Key words: selenium; animal; function; immunity
