Objective: To investigate the effect of polysassharides from Hedyotis diffusa Willd.(PHDW) on immune function of mouse thymocytes and splenocytes in vitro. Methods: MTT assay was used to study the effect of different concentration of PHDW on mouse thymus and spleen lymphocyte metabolism, Con A synergy with LPS-induced transformation, and macrophage phagocytosis and NK cell activity of mouse thymocytes and splenocytes. Results: PHDW could significantly improve splenic macrophage metabolism and phagocytosis(P
