Antitumor effect of endo-biopolymer (EBP) obtained from submerged mycelial culture of Pleurotus eryngii was investigated by using Sarcoma-180 bearing mice. The administration of EBP, intraperitoneally (10 to 80 mg/kg BW) at all dose ranges, inhibited the growth of the solid tumor and simultaneously increased the activity of natural killer (NK) cells significantly. While, 40 mg/kg BW treated group reduced the tumor formation (53.1%), and increased the NK cell activity of splenocytes (25.0%) to a… CONTINUE READING
