[Effects of abalong polysaccharide on the activity of the peritoneal macrophages and delayed-type hypersensitivity in mice bearing S180].

ABSTRACT

The effect of Abalone polysaccharide(Ap) which extracted from Haliotis discus hannai Ino on phagocytosis activity of the peritoneal macrophages and delayed-type hypersensitivity in mice bearing S180 were studied. The results showd that the ablong polysaccharide promoted the phagocytosis activity of the peritoneal macrophages and delayed-type hypersensitivity in mice bearing S180. It was suggested that the polysaccharide inhibited tumor growth maybe by activating the macrophage and T cells.
