Acetylation Modification Improves Immunoregulatory Effect of Polysaccharide from Seeds of Plantago asiatica L.

Figure 6

DCs treated with Ac-PLCPs showed stronger activity on stimulating T lymphocyte proliferation. T lymphocytes were obtained from C57BL/6 (H-2 and I-) mice and cocultured with DCs in 96-well plate at the ratio of 10 : 1 for 48 h. The absorption value of the medium group was set at control values in the calculation of % proliferation. All the polysaccharide-treated DCs showed extremely strong T cell proliferation stimulating activity. Compared with PLCP group, DCs in Ac-PLCPs III and IV exhibited significantly enhanced T cell proliferation stimulating activity. compared to the PLCP group.
