Components |
Polysaccharides of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz (PAMK) |
|
Structure |
The structure of PAMK consists of various monosaccharides, including rhamnose, xylose, arabinose, glucose, mannose, and galactose, in specific ratios. The average molecular weight is approximately 19.6 * 10^3 Da. |
|
Appearance |
The appearance of PAMK is not explicitly described in the article, but it is typically a powder or suspension. |
|
Preparation |
PAMK is prepared from the roots of Atractylodes macrocephala and can be loaded into nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) for enhanced delivery. |
|
Function |
the effect of PAKM-NLC on the surface molecule expression of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) in vitro was investigated by flow cytometry, and the cytokines secreted by dendritic cell supernatants were detected by ELISA |
|
Safety |
The article indicates that PAMK has low toxicity and is considered safe for use in vaccine formulations, but specific safety data are not detailed. |
