Immunomodulating compounds in Basidiomycetes
Mushrooms are distinguished as important food containing immunomodulating and anticancer agents. These compounds belong mostly to polysaccharides especially β-d-glucans. Among them, β-1,3-glucan with side chain β-1,6-glucose residues have more important roles in immunomodulating and antitumor activities. In this review, we have introduced polysaccharide mainly from Lentinula edodes and Agaricus...
متن کاملAllergenicity and immunogenicity of Basidiomycetes.
Species selected from six families of the class Basidiomycetes were evaluated for allergenicity in atopic and nonatopic individuals and for immunogenicity and antigenic cross-reactivity in experimental animals. Between 42% and 68% of atopic asthmatics demonstrated positive Type 1 wheal-and-flare skin reactivity to basidiomycete metabolic and somatic antigens. Sixty-four percent of skin test-pos...
متن کاملThe mycology of the Basidiomycetes
A number of significant tree and plantation root diseases in tropical Asia are caused by certain species of basidiomycetes. This important group of fungi, which includes such familiar forms as mushrooms, toadstools, bracket, shelf, and crust fungi, puff balls, earthstars, and coral fungi, is characterised by the production of sexual spores on the outside of a microscopic structure called the ba...
متن کاملTransformations of progesterone by basidiomycetes.
A total of 254 basidiomycete cultures have been examined for their action on progesterone. Of these, 54 showed transformation products by thin-film and gas-liquid chromatography. The major product formed by eight of these organisms acting on progesterone has been isolated and identified.
متن کاملLectins from Mycelia of Basidiomycetes
Lectins are proteins of a nonimmunoglobulin nature that are capable of specific recognition of and reversible binding to the carbohydrate moieties of complex carbohydrates, without altering the covalent structure of any of the recognized glycosyl ligands. They have a broad range of biological activities important for the functioning of the cell and the whole organism and, owing to the high spec...
