Abstract | Sulfated polysaccharides have been reported to exhibit an array of biological activities like anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumoral, antiviral, etc. In the present study, we have synthesized and evaluated immunomodulatory attributes of sulfated maltodextrin. Maltodextrin was sulfated using chlorosulfonic acid and was characterized by analytical techniques like ¹H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The sulfated maltodextrin was then evaluated for immunostimulatory activity using Dendritic Cells and macrophages. In vitro cytotoxicity assay was performed on macrophages which indicate the non toxicity of the modified polymer at a highest concentration of 10 μg/mL, other immunological assays on dendritic cells reveal that sulfated maltodextrin activated DC which was quantified by production of IL-12 and IFN-γ along with CD 86 and MHC II surface markers expression using flowcytometry. Based on the immunological data, we infer that sulfated maltodextrin possesses potential immune stimulatory activity. |
