Aloe polysaccharides reduces mortality in virus-infected mice. Twenty mice in groups I, II, and III were infected intranasally with the 106 TCID50 of virus. Then the mice in groups I and II were orally administrated with 20 and 40 mg of APS per day, respectively, and group III were orally administrated isometric PBS. The virus-free mice in groups IV served as the normal control. The survival rate was monitored up to 7 dpi.
