Potential of glucans as vaccine adjuvants: A review of the α-glucans case
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2017α-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.

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
1995β-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
1997Streptococcus 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 ...

Streptococcal glucan-binding lectins do not recognize methylated ?-1,6 glucans
Glycoconjugate Journal, 1995The 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 ...

Bacterial Degradation of Streptococcal Glucans
Journal of Dental Research, 1973Several strains of bacteria were isolated which have the ability to use the polyglucan polymers produced by four strains of Streptococcus mutans as a sole source of carbon and energy for growth requirements. This study shows that the enzyme system responsible for the degradation of the polyglucan is extracellular in nature.

Glucans of Oomycete Cell Walls
Science, 1967The cell walls of selected oomycetous fungi are composed primarily of glucans, and cellulose constitutes a relatively small proportion of the total glucan. The noncellulosic constituents consist of acid-soluble glucan or glucans and insoluble glucan or glucans. These noncellulosic glucan fractions contain β-(1→3) glucosidic linkages and apparently β-(1→
