A polysaccharide named GSP-2 with a molecular size of 32 kDa was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma sinense. Its structure was well elucidated, by a combined utilization of chemical and spectroscopic techniques, to be a β-glucan with a backbone of (1→4)- and (1→6)-Glcp, bearing terminal- and (1→3)-Glcp side-chains at O-3 position of (1→6)-Glcp. Immunological assay exhibited that GSP-2 significantly induced the proliferation of BALB/c mice splenocytes with target on only B cells, and enhanced the production of several cytokines in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and derived dendritic cells. Besides, the fluorescent labeled GSP-2 was phagocytosed by the RAW 264.7 cells and induced the nitric oxide secretion from the cells.

Biological activity: GSP-2 was found to be B cell dependent immunomodulator without any in vitro stimulating effect to the mouse splenetic T cells, it can significantly stimulate cytokine secretion from PBMCs (Polymixin B) and derive dendritic cells. Fluorescent labeled GSP-2 could be phagocytosis by mouse macrophage like RAW264.7 cells, GSP-2 enhanced the NO production of the cells.
