The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of pitaya stem polysaccharide (PSP) on the cellular immune function in mice with cyclophosphamide induced immunodeficiency. In this study, the toxicity of pitaya stem polysaccharide was evaluated, and the immune function of mouse cells was evaluated by detecting the proliferation ability of mouse lymphocytes induced by mitogen, calculating the body weight, spleen index, spleen immune count and blood cell count of mice. PSP had no inhibitory effect on the survival rate of lymphocytes. PSP-1 and PSP-2 had the same proliferation effect on T lymphocytes, but had no obvious effect on B lymphocytes. In the immunocompromised mouse model, the splenic index and blood cell count of mice treated with PSP were alleviated, and the effect was better in the high-dose group, but the enhancement of whole splenic immune cells was not obvious. The results showed that PSP-2 may be the active component of PSP-1 to exert immune function, T lymphocytes are the main effector cells, and the immune function of dragon fruit stem polysaccharide is mainly achieved by promoting lymphocyte proliferation.
