Journal of Ethnopharmacology , 06/25/09
Cheung JKH et al. - The phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases was induced transiently by the treatment of cordysinocan. Moreover, application of cordysinocan in cultured macrophages increased the phagocytosis activity and the enzymatic activity of acid phosphatase. These results therefore verify the important role of Cordyceps polysaccharide in triggering such immune responses.
