our previous study revealed that the antioxidant activity of polysaccharide (coded as fgfp) extracted from grifola frondosa by enzymolysis treatment was significantly superior than that (coded as gfp) extracted by boiling-water. in this study, one purified polysaccharide fractions (coded as fgfp-11) was obtained from fgfp by purified using deae-52 column and sephacryl s-500hr column. results in...

In the present study, thiol-functionalization of tamarind seed polysaccharide was carried out by esterification with thioglycolic acid. Thiol-functionalization was confirmed by SH stretch in Fourier-transformed infra-red spectra at 2586 cm(-1). It was found to possess 104.5 mM of thiol groups per gram. The results of differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction study indicate increas...

biopolymers are environmental friendly sources as renewable and sustainable substituents for petroleum-based polymers. application of these polymers is common in variety of industries including papermaking. herbalexudate gums have been used in papermaking industry for decades, especially paper recycling. in this study, gum polysaccharide exudates from baridje plant  (ferula gummosa) extracted a...

Yersinia enterocolitica serotype 9 contained an antigenic component giving a reaction of total identity with Brucella native hapten and polysaccharide B. This component was present in a phenol-water extract (fraction 5; M. Redfearn, Ph.D. Thesis, University of Wisconsin, Madison, 1960) along with the smooth lipopolysaccharide. The native hapten could be purified free of lipopolysaccharide and p...

Recently, some polysaccharides showed therapeutic potentials for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases while the most important property, their permeability to the blood brain barrier (BBB) that sheathes the brain and spinal cord, is not yet determined. The determination has been delayed by the difficulty in tracking a target polysaccharide among endogenous polysaccharides in animal. We d...

Lycium barbarum and Ganoderma lucidum, highly valued Chinese medicinal fruit and mushroom, have attracted more and more attention because of the antitumour activities they have shown, and polysaccharides are considered their most important functional constituent. Forming new compounds of L. barbarum polysaccharides, isolated from dried L. barbarum fruits, and G. lucidum polysaccharides, derived...

Hemagglutinating antibody responses of Lewis-Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats to graded doses of type-specific pneumococcal polysaccharide were measured. Rats given a small dose (0.2 to 50 mug)of type 1 or 8 polysaccharide intraperitoneally developed type-specific hemagglutinating antibody. Rats given larger doses of polysaccharide (greater than or equal to200 mug) did not develop detectable hema...

The primary attachment to polymer surfaces followed by accumulation in multilayered cell clusters leads to biofilm production of Staphylococcus epidermidis, which is thought to contribute to virulence in biomaterial-related infections. We purified a specific polysaccharide antigen of biofilm-producing S. epidermidis 1457 and RP62A, which was recently shown to have a function in the accumulative...

objective(s):sub-health has been described as a chronic condition of unexplained deteriorated physiological function, which falls between health and illness. in the present study, we evaluated the effects of lycium barbarum polysaccharide (lbp), a polysaccharide fraction purified from lycium barbarum (l. barbarum) on the sub-health mice. materials and methods:the sub-health model mice were buil...
