polysaccharides isolated from the gel of Aloe species, biological activities, including immunomodulatory and antitumor activities, Aloe vera that was partially digested with cellulase, Immunomodulatory activities of MAP preparations were examined on a mouse macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells, and in ICR strain of mouse implanted with sarcoma 180 cells, polysaccharides between 400 and 5 KDa exhibit the most potent macrophage-activating activity as determined by increased cytokine production, nitric oxide release, expression of surface molecules, and phagocytic activity.
