  • Title: Evaluation of carrageenan as an immunosuppressive agent and mediator of intravascular coagulation.
    Author: Thomson AW, Wilson AR, Cruickshank WJ, Horne CH.
    Journal: Biomedicine; 1976 May; 24(2):102-6. PubMed ID: 776242.
    Abstract:
    Carrageenan suppressed antibody responses to SRBC in mice and rats, measured in terms of splenic IgM PFC production. The effect, in mice, was dependent on dose and on the temporal relationship between treatment and antigen administration. Carrageenan was found to alter the time course of the PFC response and also to produce disseminated intravascular coagulation. Some correlation between the observed effects and the use of chemically distinct carrageenans was found. The possible mode of action of carrageenan is discussed in the light of these, and other findings.
