Abstract:
1. An isolated, aqueous liquid immune stimulating composition comprising a mixture of polysaccharides comprising the monosaccharide units galactose, mannose and glucose, wherein: the majority of the polysaccharides of the composition have a molecular weight of at least 1,000 Da wherein a first part of said polysaccharides have a molecular weight of less than 1,000,000 Da, wherein a second part of said polysaccharides have a molecular weight of at least 1,000,000 Da, wherein said mixture of polysaccharides comprises the monosaccharides galactose, mannose and glucose in the ratio 1:0.033 to 500:1 to 50, and wherein the composition is produced by a method comprising the steps of; a) cultivating a fungus of the genus b) isolating the composition from said liquid growth medium by one or more size fractionation steps, and c) retaining said composition for further use.
