  • Macrophage phagocytosis-activating composition and/or composition promoting cytokine production in macrophages
    Patent number: 8802433
    Abstract: Disclosed is a highly effective macrophage phagocytosis-activating composition and/or composition promoting cytokine production in macrophages using an active component derived from natural products. A culture obtained by culturing microorganisms belonging to the genus Aureobasidium (Aureobasidium sp.) is used as the active component of the macrophage phagocytosis-activating composition and/or composition promoting cytokine production in macrophages. By means of the macrophage phagocytosis-activating composition and/or composition promoting cytokine production in macrophages, macrophage phagocytosis can be activated, and cytokine production in macrophages can be promoted. In particular, a macrophage phagocytosis-activating composition can activate the phagocytosis of cancer cells or cells damaged or destroyed by anticancer drugs.
