Overview of (1→3)-β-D-glucan immunobiology

Mediators of Inflammation, 1997
Glucans are (1→3)-β-D-glucose polymers that are found in the cell wall of fungi, bacteria and plants. Glucans are known to stim ulate humoral and cell-mediated immunity in humans and animals.

IgG to Various Beta-Glucans in a Human Adult Population

, 2012
Background: Fungal β-(1,3)-glucans are pro-inflammatory agents, and exposures to β-(1,3)-glucans are associated with respiratory tract symptoms. IgG anti-(1,3)-glucan titers are measured in diagnosis of fungal infections.
