| Summary: | Acemannan is a O-(I,4)-linked acetylated mannan. It is the activation over that induced by IFN-Y alone. The activation alone was unable to exert any significant phenotypic change biochemical and functional changes were expressed by concentrations of IFN-Y, acemannan caused highly significant effects. It is unclear how acemannan exerts this wide exposed to acemannan in the presence or absence of suboptimal function. However, in the presence of suboptimal including acceleration of wound healing, inhibition of increased surface adhesion molecule expression and surface inflammation, immune stimulation, anticancer, and antiviral is clear that activation of macrophages could play a role in levels of interferon-y (IFN-y). It was found that acemannan macrophage. Macrophages play a wide variety of roles and it macrophages in vitro. A macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 was major constituent of the pulp of the aloe vera plant (Aloe on macrophage morphology, surface molecule expression and potent macrophage activating agent, but only in association Protein changes. These studies confirm that acemannan is a spreading and increased nitric oxide production. The the effects described above. For this reason, studies were to link all the biological effects of acemannan is the undertaken to investigate the effects of acemannan on variety of effects. One common cell, however, that appears vera L.). It has several important therapeutic properties was expressed by increased macrophage size, cytoplasmic with a second signal such as provided by interferon-y. |
