Biotechnology and Bioengineering, 1985
AbstractAspartate glucan, glycine glucan, and serine glucan obtained by reductive amination of oxalacetic acid, glyoxylic acid, and β‐hydroxypyruvic acid, respectively, with polyglucosamine were tested as chromatographic chelating media. Crosslinked glycine glucan exhibited high capacities for cobalt and copper, even in acidic solutions (pH 2.9 ...

Potential of glucans as vaccine adjuvants: A review of the α-glucans case

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2017
α-Glucans are present in virtually all domains of life, and these glucose chains linked by α-1,4- and α-1,6-linked branches form the most important storage carbohydrates in cells. It is likely for this reason that α-glucans are not generally considered as bioactive molecules as β-glucans are.

Glucans as Immunological Adjuvants

1995
β-1,3-Linked glucopyranose (β-glucan), a major structural component of yeast, fungi, and algae [1], has a wide range of biological activities. Systemic administration of β-glucan (1) provides nonspecific resistance in experimental animals against a variety of pathogenic challenges [2–7]; (2) prolongs the survival time of tumor-bearing animals [8,9]; (3)
