Sulfated Polysaccharides of Marine Algae - Modifiers of Function of Innate Immunity on Bacterial, Viral and Parasitic Infections
Current views on the effect of sulfate polysaccharides of marine algae on the humoral and cellular innate immunity (dendritic cells, neutrophils, macrophages, NK-cells, and complement system) are presented. The significant role of antiadhesive properties of sulfated polysaccharides in protection of microorganism against bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases is shown. The possibilities of creating new medicines based on natural sulfated polysaccharides of brown, red, and green are discussed
