Polysaccharide from Eucheuma Gelatinae Enhance Immunocompetence against Murine H22 Tumor In Vivo

Abstract:

New antitumor strategies are underway and play important roles in clinical trials for combating cancer in future. Eucheuma gelatinae contains a certain amount of polysaccharides, which has various biological activities. In this study, the antitumor effect of Eucheuma gelatinae polysaccharide on murine H22 tumor bearing mice has been investigated. Histological stain, flow cytometry and other methods are applied to evaluate the effects of Eucheuma gelatinae polysaccharide on immunocompetence in vivo. The data indicates that Eucheuma gelatinae polysaccharide has antitumor effect in vivo by enhancing immunocompetence of the tumor bearers.
