1 RSR_anti, RSR_immun, RSR_compr are calculated by RSR method from the anti-tumor assay, immunomodulatory assay and all the biological assessments, respectively; 2 APF_30%EtOH and APF_80%EtOH are all the polysaccharides precipitated by 30% and 80% (v/v) ethanol, respectively; 3 APF_sepharose and APF_celluose are all the polysaccharides fractionated by DEAE-sepharose fast flow (Cl− form) column and DEAE-52 cellulose (OH− form) column, respectively; 4 APF_neutral and APF_acidic are all the polysaccharides eluated by water and NaCl solution, respectively; 5 The larger of the RSR value is the more superior it is.
