Abstract
In this study, the effects of phosphorylation of Radix Cyathula officinalis polysaccharide (RCPS) on its immunological properties were evaluated using broiler chickens immunized with Newcastle disease vaccine (NDV). The results suggested that phosphorylated RCPS (pRCPS) could enhance antibody titers against NDV vaccination, improve the indexes of thymus, the bursa of fabricius and spleen, and up-regulate IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-γ. Overall, pRCPS could significantly improve cellular and humoral immune responses in broiler chickens immunized with NDV and thus represents a useful immunotherapeutic agent.
