Immunostimulatory effect of beta-glucan at drug-induced immunosuppression in guinea pigs
The peculiarity of beta-glucan action is the effect on all leukocyte populations, which is accompanied by the activation of phagocytic function. Corticosteroid hormones have an immunosuppressive effect.

The hepta-β-glucoside elicitor-binding proteins from legumes represent a putative receptor family [PDF]
The ability of legumes to recognize and respond to β-glucan elicitors by synthesizing phytoalexins is consistent with the existence of a membrane-bound β-glucan-binding site.
