A polysaccharide was purified from a hot water extract of green tea leaves by measuring the immunostimulatory activity in silkworm larvae. Nuclear magnetic resonance and chemical analysis of acid hydrolysates revealed that the purified substance possessed a backbone containing polygalacturonic acids with methyl ester residues. Treatment with β-glucanase attenuated the muscle contraction activit...

The experiment used white mice, which were divided into 4 groups. first group of mice was injected with a saline solution 0.04 mg Trichinella antigen obtained by the Magat method subcutaneously, second azoxymer bromide (polyoxidonium) at dose 0.004 mg/mouse, third infected larvae without preliminary administration drugs, served as control.
