Structural characterization and macrophage immunostimulatory activity of polysaccharides present in the hot water extracts from Pterospartum tridentatum dried inflorescences. In Third International Congress on Cocoa Coffee and Tea. Aveirohttp://hdl.handle.net/10198/16555The hot water extracts from Pterospartum tridentatum dried inflorescences are used in the northeastern portuguese region of Tras-os-Montes due to its therapeutic properties. The therapeutic properties attributed to hot water extracts from plants are often related with polysaccharide macrophage immunostimulatory activity. This work intends to identify the structural features of polysaccharides from Pferospartum tridentatum hot water extracts and to evaluate their putative macrophage immunostimulatory activity. which may contribute to their therapeutic properties.engPolysaccharidesStructural characterizationP. tridentatumAqueous extractsconference object
