Abstract:
The effect of PSK, a protein-bound polysaccharide with antitumor activity, on the host defence mechanism against tumor in sarcoma-180-bearing mice was examined. PSK restored the capacity to generate cytotoxic lymphocytes and complement-requiring cytotoxic antibody in tumor-bearing mice. PSK did not, however augment cytotoxic activity in tumor-free mice.
