Abstract

with a number-average molecular weight of 26.0 kDa and a weight-average molecular weight of 52.8 kDa. Additionally, the innate immune statuses of the mice were improved by treatment with AOHP, while no obvious damage was identified. To conclude, the immunomodulatory activity and biological safety make AOHP a viable candidate as an ingredient for healthcare drugs.
