The present disclosure provides methods for increasing the lipopolysaccharide-induced secretion of IL-1 by macrophages, for increasing serum levels of IL-1 in a mammal, for increasing the serum level of IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) in a mammal, for increasing the secretion of IL-1 by a monocyte, for increasing the secretion of IL-1Ra by a monocyte, for increasing the secretion of IL-1Ra by a macrophage, for increasing expression of TLR4 on the surface of a macrophage, for increasing expression of CD14 on the surface of macrophage, for increasing the uptake and clearance of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by a LPS-stimulated macrophage, and for increasing lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated activation of at least one of ERK, JNK, and p38 in a macrophage. The methods of the disclosure involve the administration to mammals and immune cells of a fucose-containing glycoprotein fraction from Ganoderma lucidum.

Immunogenic compositions, cancer vaccines and methods for treating cancer comprising FMS, the fucose-enriched polysaccharide fraction from Reishi F3, are provided. Compositions comprise fucose-enriched Reishi polysaccharide fraction (FMS) MW=˜35 kDa, wherein the FMS is isolated by size-exclusion chromatography from Reishi F3, and the FMS comprises polysaccharides having primarily a backbone selected from 1,4-mannan and 1,6-α-galactan, wherein the backbone is linked to a terminal fucose-containing side-chain Immunogenic compositions comprising glycolipid adjuvants are provided. Antibodies generated by immunogenic compositions disclosed herein bind cancer cells comprising antigens Globo H, Globo H, Gb3, Gb4, Gb5 (SSEA-3) and SSEA-4 on the cell surface.
