INHIBITION OF NFK-B MEDIATED VIRUS REPLICATION WITH SPECIFIC OLIGOSACCHARIDES

摘要

The inventors surprisingly found that specific oligosaccharides are capable of inhibiting viral replication through inhibiting NF-&kgr;B activation. The invention thus pertains to a composition comprising pectin (in the form of digalacturonic acid, trigalacturonic acid, polygalacturonic acid), Arabinoxylan from rice bran, &bgr;-glucan from bakers yeast, D-Ribose or mixtures there-of for inhibiting viral replication in a mammal with a viral disease.
