Effect of A. bisporus polysaccharide extract and of P. linteus polysaccharide extract on the growth of THP-1 (a) and K562 cells (b). Samples were taken at 24, 48 and 72 h after the start of incubation; counting was performed using trypan blue and non-colored cells were considered "live". Blue cells were considered "dead". A minimum of 500 cells cells was counted per point. *P < 0.01, significantly different from the values of the control group.
