Structural characterization of a novel polysaccharide fraction from Hericium erinaceus and its signaling pathways involved in macrophage immunomodulatory activity

A novel heteropolysaccharide fraction (HEP-W) with great immunomodulatory activity was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceus. Structural characterization revealed that HEP-W had an average molecular weight of 1.59 × 104 Da and was composed of rhamnose, fucose, mannose, glucose and...
