Immune-enhancing activity of polysaccharides from Hibiscus sabdariffa Linn. via MAPK and NF-kB signaling pathways in RAW264.7 cells

Four novel heteropolysaccharides (HSP-I, HSP-II, HSP-III, HSP-IV) were isolated from blossoms of Hibiscus sabdariffa. Average molecular weights of the four polysaccharides were 8.7 × 103 Da, 1.4 × 104 Da, 4.4 × 104 Da and 1.4 × 105 Da, respectively. Glucuronic acid, rhamnose, mannose, glucose and ga...
