| Abstract |
The effectiveness of extracellular polysaccharides isolated from Trametes hirsuta strain VKESR was evaluated for their immunostimulating properties by in vitro lymphocyte proliferation, phagocytic assay, NK cell activity and cytokine quantification. The splenocyte proliferation assay showed that the extracellular glucans found to have good stimulation index and enhances the NK cell mediated tumor killing. It promotes phagocytosis in treated macrophages in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, the polysaccharides exhibit significant stimulatory effect on cytokines IL-2 and IFN-γ whereas the polysaccharide has moderate stimulatory effect pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF-α. These immunostimulating properties help in combating various diseases and could be a promising beginning for further research to study the role of extracellular polysaccharide on the host immune systems. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 December 2018.
All research outputs
#5,239,707
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Carbohydrate Polymers
#519
of 5,157 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#59,043
of 324,049 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Carbohydrate Polymers
#9
of 89 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 79th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,157 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,049 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 89 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its contemporaries.
