Leukocyte activation by (1→3)-β-D glucans by Yoshiyuki Adachi, Mitsuhiro Okazaki, Naohito Ohno, Toshiro Yadomae

“…We studied the activities of several kinds of β-glucans, including sonifilan, grifolan, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum glucan, laminarin and zymosan, on macrophages. Preculture of macrophages with inactive β-glucans rendered the cells unresponsive to subsequent stimulation with grifolan, suggesting a specific pathway in the β-glucan structure. …”
