Abstract: Mucosa is the frontline of body immune defense. Protective mucosal immune response can be effectively induced by oral administration, nose drop, ocular routes and other mucosal routes. However, most mucosal immune vaccines have not been developed, and there is a lack of safe and effective immunopotentiator. Chinese herbal polysaccharides have been proved as biologically-active macromolecules to promote mucosal immune response. This paper reviews different mucosal immunopotentiator of Chinese herbal polysaccharides and its effect on intestinal mucosa in recent years, in order to provide new ideas for the development and utilization of Chinese herbal polysaccharides as mucosal immune immunopotentiator.

Key words: Chinese herbal polysaccharides, intestinal mucosal immunity, immunopotentiator
