Objective:To evaluated the immunomodulatory effect of BRP-4,an acidic polysaccharide from Basella rubra(B.rubra) L on the macrophage activity.Methods:Phagocytic activity was determined by the ingestion of Latex Beads-Rabbit IgC-FITC using the fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry analysis and nitric oxide production was measured using Griess reaction assay.Results:An enhanced production of NO was observed at 10 and 100 μg/mL of BRP-4.The phagocytic activity of macrophage was enhanced in BRP-4 treated RAW264.7 cells.BRP-4combined with concanavalin A(Con A) provided obvious promotion and strengthening of the proliferation of the splenocytes.Conclusions:BRP-4,polysaccharide isolated from B.rubra,is suggested to activate macrophage function and stimulate splenocyte proliferation.The strong immunomodulatory activity of BRP-4 confirmed its good potential as an immunotherapeutic adjuvant.
