ABSTRACT
Two water-soluble polysaccharides, BSP-1 and BSP-2, were extracted and purified from the tuber of Bletilla striata. The molecular weights of BSP-1 and BSP-2 were 83.54â¯kDa and 12.60â¯kDa, respectively. The composition and proportion of BSP-1 and BSP-2 were mannose and glucose in molar ratios of 4.01.0 and 3.01.0 respectively. The two polysaccharides had a linear backbone, consisting mainly of repeating ß1,4linked dmannosyl residues and ß1,4linked dglucosyl residues. BSP-1 exhibited immunomodulatory effects by increasing the thymus and spleen indices of immunocompromised model mice.
