Polysaccharides have been studied, examined and explored for number of decades and a wide range of information has been discovered about the polysaccharides that helps in modifying the immune system and its effectiveness. Natural polymers are available in abundance and bear significant resemblance to constituents of biological extracellular matrices. Polysaccharides from plants such as gums, resins, tannins and mucilage have been put to use for their medicinal properties as well as for innovative dosage forms. Polysaccharides are easily endured by human body and even tend to seize high bioactivity and biocompatibility. There have been various investigations to demonstrate the organizational features of these bioactive elements and result in interfering with the cellular units of host individual. This review manuscript will focus on the immunomodulatory potential of non-conventional natural polysaccharides of microbial and plant origin. These specialized polysaccharides are capable of producing a strong impact on the adaptive-, acquired-, and innate-immune system. This is usually carried out by the interaction between them along with T-cells, leukocytes, monocytes, and most importantly with macrophages. Polysaccharides are capable of enriching and modulating the immune response of the host in response to infections as well as have anti-tumor properties – signifying its importance of getting widely available in countries like Japan(currently) and in India (from historic times). |
