This study is about how immune cells use antibodies to grab and process germs, not about plant proteins (lectins) leaking through the gut and causing inflammation.

This study says eating plants is good for you and that worries about lectins causing harm might be exaggerated — it doesn’t prove lectins leak through the gut and cause inflammation.
