Abstract:

Astragalus is a traditional Chinese herbal that can be used as both medicine and therapy foods, and its most
active ingredient content is Astragalus polysaccharides. The natural extract substance, Astragalus polysaccharides, has
multiple effects including modulating blood glucose, protecting liver and kidney, adjusting immunity, preventing oxidation
and senimu. Among these functions, immunoregulation is the most outstanding one. In this paper, immunoregulation
function of Astragalus polysaccharides is studied from the aspects of immune organs, immune cells and the expression of
relevant cell factors and genes based on the synthesis of the relevant research results in this field.

Key words: Astragalus polysaccharide, immunoregulation, mechanism of action
