  • Many polysaccharides isolated from plants have been shown to enhance various immune responses in vivo and in vitro. Here we demonstrate that polysaccharide isolated from the root of Acanthopanax koreanum (AK) has a unique mode of immunostimulation with regard to its cell-type specificity. AK was found to markedly increase polyclonal 1gM antibody production and the proliferation of B cells. (omitted)
