Reciprocal Inhibition of Adiponectin and Innate Lung Immune Responses to Chitin and Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]
, 2019 Chitin is a structural biopolymer found in numerous organisms, including pathogenic fungi, and recognized as an immune-stimulating pathogen associated molecular pattern by pattern recognition molecules of the host immune system.

Studies on Chitin. I. Acetylation of Chitin [PDF]
Polymer Journal, 1979 Chitin was converted into diacetylchitin and also into various kinds of acetylchitins. A fully acetylated chitin was prepared by the acetylation of chitin in acetic anhydride—methanesulfonic acid mixture at 0°C overnight, or in acetic anhydride—perchloric acid mixture at 0°C for 3 h.

Seafood Waste as Attractive Source of Chitin and Chitosan Production and Their Applications
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Chitosan is a cationic polymer obtained by deacetylation of chitin, found abundantly in crustacean, insect, arthropod exoskeletons, and molluscs. The process of obtaining chitin by the chemical extraction method comprises the steps of deproteinization ...

Studies on Chitin I. Enzymic Degradation of Chitin and Chitin Esters [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1954 A study has been made O'f the enzymic degradation of chitin and the sodium salt of chitin sulphuric acid by a chitinase prepared from the intestinal tract of the snail, Helix aspersa. It is shown that, in a citrate-phosphate buffer, the pH for optimum activity is 4.8 for both substrates.

Chitin-Induced Airway Epithelial Cell Innate Immune Responses Are Inhibited by Carvacrol/Thymol. [PDF]
, 2016 Chitin is produced in large amounts by fungi, insects, and other organisms and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. Airway epithelial cells are in direct contact with environmental particles and serve as the first line of defense against ...
