The influence of sweet pepper pectin structural characteristics on cytokine secretion by THP-1 macrophages

Pectins can modulate the biological responses interacting directly with immune cells. The observed responses can strongly be affected by polysaccharide structural features. We analyzed the intrinsic activation capacity of native and modified sweet pepper pectin on cytokine secretion by THP-1 macroph...
