The effect of mannan polysaccharide on the haemopoiesis recovery in irradiated mice has been investigated. Mannan has been shown to exert both the protective and the stimulatory effect: it accelerates restoration of femur bone marrow cellularity and nucleate cell number in the peripheral blood and causes a larger initial yield and subsequent more rapid postirradiation dynamics of pluripotent haemopoietic stem cells and precursor cells of granulocytes and macrophages.
