Lentinan potentiates immunity and prolongs the survival time of some patients.

Abstract:

:For the selection of patients responding well to lentinan, we performed two immunological analysis of patients. Flow cytometric analysis was obtained from peripheral blood lymphocytes; the patients who had greater than 2.5 ratio of [CD11(-) CD8(+)/CD11(+) CD8(+) after treatment]/[CD11(-) CD8(+)/CD11(+) CD8(+) before treatment] at 10 days after lentinan administration showed prolonged survival. The analysis of the- levels of soluble factors such as IL-6, sIL-6R, TNF-alpha, G-CSF, sICAM-1, IAP, and PGE2 and the decreasing levels of G-CSF, IL-6, and PGE2 after lentinan administration had a statistically significant correlation with the ratio of [CD4(+) CD29(+)/CD4(+) CD29(-) after treatment]/[(CD4(+) CD29(+)/CD4(+)CD29(-) before treatment]. The decrease in IL-6, G-CSF, and PGE2 levels after lentinan administration indicated an increase in immunine potential. From these results, we belive that patients with over 2.5-fold increase in [CD11(-) CD8(+)/CD11(+) CD8(+) after treatment]/[CD11(-) CD8(+)/CD11(+) CD8(+) before treatment] and showing a decrease in IL-6, G-CSF, and PGE2 levels after lentinan administration should continue treatment with lentinan for a long period.
