The polysaccharide CP1-1 was purified from Celosia cristata.
We determined its average molecular weight and monosaccharide composition.
We performed a partial chemical characterization of CP1-1 by methylation analysis.
CP1-1 promotes the proliferation and neutral red phagocytosis of RAW 264.7 cells.
CP1-1 increases the secretion of TNF-伪, IL-6 and IL-1尾.
