Four polysaccharides Pc-1, Pc-2, Pc-3 and Pc-4 were isolated from water and alkali extracts of the lichen Peltigera canina using ethanol fractionation, gel filtration and preparative HP-GPC. The monosaccharide composition was determined by methanolysis and GC and showed mannose and galactose as the predominating structural units. The mean M(r) was determined by HP-GPC. The heteroglycans were tested for in vitro immunomodulating activities and showed mitogenic activity in rat spleen cell proliferation assay and stimulated IL-10 secretion. In rat peritoneal macrophages, the heteroglycans stimulated TNF-alpha secretion, but not IL-10 secretion. These results indicate that the polysaccharides influence cells of the immune system both from the innate and the adaptive systems.Lu00FDsing
