Description :
Medicinal mushrooms plays important role in immunomodulation as they contains number of bioactive compounds The search for novel polysaccharides with immune enhancing properties seems from the basic shortcomings of existing therapies. Majority of chemical compounds, which have been identified as cytotoxic to cancer cells, are also toxic to normal cells. Hence, the discovery and identification of safer new drugs, without severe side effects, has become an important goal of research in the biomedical sciences. A future significant observation is the ability of all the mushroom polysaccharides when administered to significantly reduce the side effects so often encountered. Therefore current review enlightened the important bioactive polysaccharides from medicinal mushroom with immunomodulation.
