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.

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 ...

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)

The Glucan Binding Domain of the Streptococcus mutans Glucan Binding Protein

1997
Streptococcus mutans is the major etiological agent in the development of smooth surface caries. The bacteria secrete glucosyltransferases (GTFs) that catalyze the breakdown of dietary sucrose to yield fructose for fermentative metabolism and glucose for the synthesis of glucan polymers.5 These glucans consist of α-1,3- and α-1,6-linkages and α-1,3,6 ...
