Purification, characterization and immunomodulatory activity of a polysaccharide from Celosia cristata

Purification, characterization and immunoregulatory activity of a polysaccharide isolated from Hibiscus sabdariffa L.

“…, HSP41 can promote the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells. Similar results were also reported elsewhere . It may be necessary that HSP41 can promote the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells.…”

The morphological and phytochemical studies on the effect of acute and recurrent irradiation in Celosia cristata seeds

“…Celosia cristata L., called "Jengger ayam" in Indonesia, is an ornament and herbaceous plants of the family Amaranthaceae, widely grown in Asia and Africa (Kim et al 2015b;Sun et al 2015). C. cristata has a unique shape and attractive colors of flowers.…”

“…Thus, this plant is also popular as the ornamental plant for landscape, potted, and cut flowers. C. cristata is also used as a medicinal plant with several biological activities such as antioxidant activity from flower extract (Kim et al 2015b), antiviral activity from leaves extract (Balasubrahmanyam et al 2000), immunomodulatory activity from polysaccharide CP1-1 isolated (Sun et al 2015), and hepatoprotective activity from saponin and triterpenoid saponin isolated ( Wang et al 2010;Sun et al 2011). Therefore, the diversity of morphology and metabolite in C. cristata needs to be increased to maximize the potential plants used as an ornamental and herb plant.…”

Structural characterization and immunomodulatory activity of a new polysaccharide isolated from the radix of Platycodon grandiflorum

“…When macrophages are activated, they can induce the production of NO and cytokine (TNF‐α and IL‐6), which plays indispensable roles in immunomodulatory responses (Sun et al ., 2015). Nitric oxide (NO) is an intracellular messenger, which contributes to defend the host against the invasion of pathogens and mediates a variety of biological functions (Du et al ., 2016).…”
