enrietti, and Listeria cytogenes. Glycanogalacturonans from Achyrocline satureioides enhance the phagocytic potential of macrophages and granulocytes and
exhibit strong anti-complement and anti-inflammatory activities. Polysaccharides
are also known to develop chemotaxis, for instance, the rhizome of Urtica dioica
produces a-glucan that can stimulate leukocyte migration. Lectins isolated from
