Immunostimulant oxidized β-glucan conjugates

International Immunopharmacology, 2001
beta-Glucans are polysaccharides that act as nonspecific immune system stimulants. However, many beta-Glucans are sparingly soluble in water. This work describes an oxidative procedure, which solubilizes the beta-Glucan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and maintains its immunostimulatory properties.

Streptococcal glucan-binding lectins do not recognize methylated ?-1,6 glucans

Glycoconjugate Journal, 1995
The glucan-binding lectin (GBL) of Streptococcus sobrinus is cell associated, enabling the bacteria to be aggregated by alpha-1,6 glucans. Glucans, such as amylose, pullulan, laminarin and nigeran, have no affinity for the lectin. High molecular weight alpha-1,6 glucans (dextrans) readily aggregate the bacteria, whereas low molecular weight glucans ...

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)

Yeast Cell-Wall Glucans

1982
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the present state of knowledge on the structure and metabolism of the related glucan components of yeast cell walls. Many of the earlier structural studies involved commercial samples of pressed baker's yeast and, although these enabled the main structural features to be identified, they were of limited value ...

Aspartate glucan, glycine glucan, and serine glucan for the removal of cobalt and copper from solutions and brines

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 ...
