Abstract

Objective: To study the antitumor effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP X) and its immunity regulating effect on S 180 bearing mice. Methods: S 180 bearing mice were used as animal model. The effect of LBP X on tumor weight and immune function was observed. Results: LBP X could inhibit the growth of S 180 effectively and increase thymus index, the macrophage phagocytic function, anti SRBC antibody secreted by the spleen cells, lymphocyte proliferation and CTL activity and decrease LPO markedly in S 180 bearing mice. Conclusion: The mechanism of tumor inhibition by LBP X was due to enhance the immune function.
