ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the effects of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP-X) on IL-2 and TNF-? gene expressions in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells.Methods:
RT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) was used to detect the gene expressions of IL-2 and TNF-?.Results:
LBP-X at 5-40 mg/L upregulated the levels of IL-2 and TNF-? mRNA in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells after optimal time culture.Conclusion:
The immunoenhancing effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide may be associated with its stimulation of IL-2 and TNF-? gene expressions.
