immunomodulatory component, Acemannan, a mixture of various length polymer chains of ?-(1,4)-linked acetylated galactomannan isolated from aloe vera, may be the best-characterized immunomodulatory polysaccharides, immunoaugmenting activities of acemannan are mediated through the activation of macrophages, Acemannan also augments hematopoiesis, induces maturation of immature dendritic cells, maximum immunomodulatory activity is between 5 kDa and 400 kDa;
