Immu-Forte composed of chitosan, β-glucan, manno-oligosaccharide and pangamic acid was evaluated for its effectiveness as a nonspedific immunostimulator in mice. The effects of Immu-Forte were determined by analysis of cytokines using ELISA and phenotype of leukocyte subpopulations using monoclonal antibodies specific to mouse leukocyte differentiation antigens and flow cytometry. All T cells, all B cells, CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, macrophages, IL-2, IL-4, IL-12 and IFN-r in Immu-Forte A-treated group increased in 1 months posttreatment and were significantly higher (p less than 0.05) than that of control at 1 months posttreatment.
