TY - JOUR AU - Generalov, E. A. AB - Abstract This study analyzed the spectral characteristics, monosaccharide composition, and interferon-inducing properties of the polysaccharide isolated from Heliantnus tuberosus L. Based on the spectral characteristics and the monosaccharide composition, the polysaccharide was classified as a glucan—presumably a β-glucan. It was found that the polysaccharide complex of the H. tuberosus L. cell wall exhibited interferoninducing properties both in vitro and in vivo. Presumably, all three interferon species—alpha, beta, and gamma—were produced in polysaccharide-stimulated models. The polysaccharide was shown to possess an antiviral and therapeutic activity.
