ResumoFrom Viscum album 'berries', a complex acidic arabinogalactan (Fb) with mean Mr of 700 000 has been isolated by DEAE-Trisacryl M column chromatography and by affinity chromatography on Sephacryl S 1000 bound Ricinus communis lectin and separated into two arabinogalactan-fractions (RCA-N and RCA-G). Their structures were elucidated mainly by methylation analysis, partial acidic hydrolysis and 15C-NMR spectroscopy. The acidic arabinogalactan Fb stimulates in vitro the alternative pathway of the human complement system.
