Study of Immunotropic Properties of Water-Soluble Polysaccharides Isolated from Conium maculatum Grass

  • Published:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Addition of water-soluble polysaccharides isolated from Conium maculatum L. to the mouse peritoneal macrophage culture induces classical activation of antigen-presenting cells due to an increase in NO synthase activity and a decrease in arginase expression.
