Ganoderma lucidum, a traditional Chinese medicine, is well known as a modulator of functions of the immune system as well as an anti-tumour agent. However, its active compounds and their molecular mechanisms of action are not well established. GLIS, a proteoglycan isolated from the fruiting body of G. lucidum, stimulates directly the activation of B lymphocytes. In this work, the immunoactivation capacities of GLIS as well as its anti-tumour effect were investigated in vitro and in vivo.
