(1→3)-β-D-glucan in patients with pulmonary aspergilloma
To elucidate the role of (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan in pulmonary aspergilloma, serum concentrations of (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan were measured repeatedly for as long as 10 months in eight patients. In four patients with inactive disease, concentrations of (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan were in the normal range.The concentrations of (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan increased in two patients, although the disease was inactiv...
متن کاملSerum (1->3)-β-D-glucan measurement in coccidioidomycosis.
The serum (1→3)-β-d-glucan assay has emerged as an important diagnostic test for invasive fungal disease. The utility of this assay in coccidioidomycosis has not been previously studied. Using a cutoff value of ≥80 pg/ml, we found the sensitivity (43.9%), specificity (91.1%), positive predictive value (81.8%), and negative predictive value (64.1%) to be similar to those of the assay in diagnosi...
متن کاملInhalation toxicity of (1→3)-β-D glucan: recent advances
To investigate the effects of (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan after inhalation, animals were exposed to different forms of glucan and the number of lung lavage cells was determined 24 h after exposure. None of the different forms assayed caused any increase in cell numbers. In animals exposed to endotoxin, all types of cells were increased after 24 h. A simultaneous exposure to curdlan reduced this incre...
متن کاملOverview of (1→3)-β-D-glucan immunobiology
Glucans are (1-->3)-beta-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. In addition to the potent immune stimulatory effects of (1-->3)-beta-D-glucans, there are a number of toxicological effects associated with exposure to the water-insoluble, microparticulate form of th...
متن کاملβ 1 , 3 - Glucan in Cancer Treatment
Natural products, useful in preventing and/or treating various diseases, have been sought after throughout the man’s history. Despite some problems inherited from the natural source of glucans, there is extensive literature about their activities in animal tumor models. For the past 25 years, Japan has used several forms of mushroom-derived glucans in treating cancer patients. Additionally, clo...
