  • The Apollo oral liquid contains polysaccharide of H. erinaceus (PHE)
  • The effects of PHE on proliferation of mice T and B lymphocytes were studied
  • Results showed that (1) 3-fold proliferation of thymocytes was demonstrated when PHE were administrated with Con A than Con A alone
  • Such effect on thymocyte was not observed when PHE was used alone
  • (2) Proliferation of spleen lymphocytes was also stimulated when PHE were taken together with lipopolysaccharide, which was 50% and 3 times stronger than that of using lipopolysaccharide and PHE alone respectively
