In this study, the aqueous extract was obtained from dried basidiomata of G. imperialis, which was fractioned by several steps yielding three main polysaccharide fractions (Gi-MRSW, Gi-FSME, and Gi-FPME) as shown below.

Among those polysaccharides, only the Gi-MRSW fraction displayed immune-enhancing activity on murine macrophages similar to LPS. The detailed molecular structure was not mentioned here.
