Pyrogenicity of Yeast Mannans in Rabbits [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiology and Immunology, 1984
AbstractA few yeast mannans free from protein and phosphorus showed pyrogenic activity in rabbits although the extent of this activity was considerably lower than that of the bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The pyrogenic activity was not abolished by treatment with sodium deoxycholate. This result showed that the mannans themselves participated in

Mannan oligosaccharide requires functional ETC and TLR for biological radiation protection to normal cells

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2018
Background Low LET Ionizing radiation is known to alter intracellular redox balance by inducing free radical generation, which may cause oxidative modification of various cellular biomolecules. The extent of biomolecule-modifications/ damages and changes

Mannan Enhances IL-12 Production by Increasing Bacterial Uptake and Endosomal Degradation in L. acidophilus and S. aureus Stimulated Dendritic Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
The mannose receptor (MR) is a C-type lectin involved in endocytosis and with a poorly defined ability to modulate cellular activation. We investigated the effect of mannan treatment prior to stimulation of murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells with

Enzymatic Conversion of Mannan-Rich Plant Waste Biomass into Prebiotic Mannooligosaccharides

open access: yesFoods, 2021
A growing demand in novel food products for well-being and preventative medicine has attracted global attention on nutraceutical prebiotics. Various plant agro-processes produce large amounts of residual biomass considered “wastes”, which can potentially

Modern mannan: a hemicellulose's journey

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2022
SummaryHemicellulosic polysaccharides built of β‐1,4‐linked mannose units have been found throughout the plant kingdom and have numerous industrial applications. Here, I review recent advances in the biosynthesis and modification of plant β‐mannans. These matrix polymers can associate with cellulose bundles to impact the mechanical properties of plant ...

The Macrophage Mannose Receptor Regulate Mannan-Induced Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis-Like Disease Models

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
The injection of mannan into mice can result in the development of psoriasis (Ps) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), whereas co-injection with antibodies toward collagen type II leads to a chronic rheumatoid-like arthritis.

A Synthetic β‐Mannan Epitope Enables Immunization and Detection of Candida auris

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A synthetic β‐mannan epitope enables both active and passive immunization against Candida auris. Conjugation to the carrier protein CRM197 induces protective antibody responses, while monoclonal antibodies targeting the same epitope support detection using a lateral flow assay, linking glycochemistry with antifungal prevention and diagnostics ...
