• Mekabu (Undaria pinnatifida)
• immunoglobulin (Ig)
• fucoidan
• water extract
• mouse spleen lymphocytes

In this study, we revealed that a Mekabu (Udaria pinnantifida) extract enhanced immunoglobulin (Ig) production of mouse spleen lymphocytes. Furthermore, it was suggested that water-soluble and high molecular weight ingredients in the Mekabu extract have significant enhancing effect on Ig production. Therefore, fucoidan was estimated as the active component.
