Abstract

N-Acetyl-chito-oligosaccharides, tetra-N-acetyl-chitotetraose, penta-N-acetyl-chitopentaose, and hexa-N-acetyl-chitohexaose were found to enhance active oxygen-generating and candidacidal effects of peritoneal exudate cells in BALB/c male mice given 50 mg/kg of each oligosaccharide intraperitoneally.
