title: [Effects of exopolysaccharide from Tolypocladium sinense on murine immunocytes in vitro].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To elucidate the effects of exopolysaccharide from Tolypocladium sinense on murine immunocytes in vitro.
  
  
  METHODS
  Extracted exopolysccharide (EPS) from cultured Tolypocladium sinense. The effects of EPS on mouse immune parameters were detected in vitro using cell culture techniques.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results indicated that EPS might significantly not only promote mouse macrophage neutral red uptake ability and cytotoxicity (P < 0.05), but also stimulate their thymus lymphocytes proliferation (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  EPS may elevate murine cellular immunity to a certain.
