Exopolysaccharide from Ganoderma applanatum as a Promising Bioactive Compound with Cytostatic and Antibacterial Properties

Figure 6

Immunostimulatory activity of exopolysaccharides from G. applanatum (GpEPS): (a) the level of IL-6 in the culture fluid after 24 h of treatment with the GpEPS fractions (228.5 μg/mL), (b) the changes of TNF-α level after 6 and 24 h of treatment with the GpEPS fractions (228.5 μg/mL) (C-negative control-cultures provided in the RPMI medium with the content of 2% of serum, LPS-positive control, and E. coli lipopolysaccharide (10 μg/mL)). All results are expressed as mean ± SD from three experiments ( ), values marked with the different letters are significantly different ( ).
