Immunomodulatory effect of structurally-characterized mushroom sclerotial polysaccharides isolated from Polyporus rhinocerus on human monoctyes THP-1

Two high molecular weight (MW larger than 788 kDa) mushroom polysaccharides extracted by hot water (PRW) and micronized sonication-assisted cold alkali (mPRSon), were isolated from the sclerotia of Polyporus rhinocerus. PRW was a polysaccharide-protein complex with a highly branched (degree of branc...
