Synthesis, Characterization, and Biological Activity of Aminated Zymosan [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2020 Zymosan (ZM), a naturally occurring insoluble macromolecule obtained from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is used as a functional food (as dietary fiber), phagocytic stimulus, and immune potentiator. The present study aimed to increase its solubility and evaluate its immunological application. ZM was converted into soluble 6-amino-6-deoxy-β-(

Detection of the complement fragment C5a in inflammatory exudates from the rabbit peritoneal cavity using radioimmunoassay. [PDF]
, 1983 We describe a radioimmunoassay for rabbit C5a and its use to obtain evidence of extravascular C5a generation in two inflammatory reactions in the peritoneal cavity.

Macrophage recognition of zymosan particles [PDF]
Journal of Endotoxin Research, 2003 Zymosan particles have served as a model for recognition of microbes by the innate immune system for over 50 years. Zymosan induces inflammatory signals in macrophages through Toll-like receptors TLR2 and TLR6. In addition, phagocytic receptors on macrophages bind zymosan and stimulate particle engulfment. We have further examined the requirements for

Immune response of hibernating European bats to a fungal challenge
Biology Open, 2019 Immunological responses of hibernating mammals are suppressed at low body temperatures, a possible explanation for the devastating effect of the white-nose syndrome on hibernating North American bats.

Characterization of Zymosan-Modulated Neutrophils With Neuroregenerative Properties
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Recent studies using advanced techniques such as single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq), high parameter flow cytometry, and proteomics reveal that neutrophils are more heterogeneous than previously appreciated. Unique subsets have been identified in the context of bacterial and parasitic infections, cancer, and tissue injury and repair.

Phagosome-lysosome fusion is a calcium-independent event in macrophages. [PDF]
, 1996 Phagosome-lysosome membrane fusion is a highly regulated event that is essential for intracellular killing of microorganisms. Functionally, it represents a form of polarized regulated secretion, which is classically dependent on increases in ...
