Immunomodulatory effects of lotus seed (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) peptides (LSPs) were studied in this paper. The LSPs were prepared by trypsin enzymatic hydrolysis and were separated by ultrafiltration separation technology. The following four peptide fractions with different molecular weight were...
