Abstract
In this study, we revealed that a Mekabu (Udaria pinnantifida) extract enhanced immunoglobulin (Ig) production of mouse spleen lymphocytes. Furthermore, it was suggested that water-soluble and high molecular weight ingredients in the Mekabu extract have significant enhancing effect on Ig production. Therefore, fucoidan was estimated as the active component.
Notes
Abbreviations: Ig, immunoglobulin; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; MW, molecular weight; LMWF, low molecular weight fractions; HMWF, high molecular weight fractions.
