    Journal: Carbohydr Polym; 2016 Mar 15; 138():134-42. PubMed ID: 26794746.
    Abstract:
    One acidic polysaccharide named EPS-1 was isolated from the aqueous extract of the leaves of Epimedium acuminatum Franch. It may be composed of 1,4-linked α-d-GalpA, 1,3,4-linked α-d-GalpA, 1,6-linked β-d-Galp and terminal α-l-Rhap residues in a molar ratio of 11.0:1.0:1.0:1.0 by chemical and spectroscopic analysis. EPS-1 possessed immune modulation effects on peripheral T lymphocyte and immature chBM-DCs such as promoting the proliferation and cytokine secretion of these cells and increasing the phagocytosis ability of immature chBM-DCs.
