Abstract excerpt
Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in initiating antitumour immune response. Tumour progression usually induces defects in DC maturation and thus tumour-bearing hosts exhibit immunosuppression and tumour escape. The previous studies showed that an exopolysaccharide (EPS) from a fungus, one anamorph of Cordyceps sinensis, inhibited tumour growth via activating immune response in the hosts. In view of the...
