Cell type-specific differences in β-glucan recognition and signalling in porcine innate immune cells [PDF]
β-glucans exert receptor-mediated immunomodulating activities, including oxidative burst activity and cytokine secretion. The role of the β-glucan receptors dectin-1 and complement receptor 3 (CR3) in the response of immune cells towards β-glucans is ...

Maize alpha-Glucan Phosphorylase [PDF]
The major isozyme of alpha-glucan phosphorylase from developing maize seeds has been purified to homogeneity as verified by gel electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation and immunoprecipitation. The enzyme appears to be dimeric and has an estimated molecular weight of 223000 +/- 10000 based on ultracentrifugation, dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis, and ...
