CorImmune Increases Survival Rates After Radiation

Xenos Nutraceuticals’ CorImmune, a cultured mushroom fungus (Hirsutella sinensis) isolated from a Chinese/Tibetan herbal preparation (Cordyceps sinensis), mitigated the effects of radiation in mice during a study recently published in The International Journal of Radiation Biology.
During the study BALB/c mice received total body irradiation (TBI) followed by treatment with CorImmune. The effect of CorImmune on lymphoid tissue, spleen and blood cells as well as survival and hematopoietic recovery was compared to normal saline treated controls.

CorImmune administered beginning 2 hours after a lethal dose of TBI significantly improved survival (55% in the CorImmune group versus 0% in the saline control.) It increased normal leukocyte levels in a dose-dependent fashion. Animals treated with sub-lethal TBI and monitored for blood leukocyte recovery exhibited a return to normal baseline 3 weeks after TBI injury. In contrast, only 50% returned to normal baseline in the saline control group.
