Glucan-induced enhancement of host resistance to selected infectious diseases.
We conducted studies with mice, rats, and monkeys which demonstrated the ability of glucan to induce either nonspecific or specific enhancement of host resistance to infectious diseases. Intravenous pretreatment of mice with glucan significantly enhanced the survival of mice challenged with either Venezuelan equine encephalomyelitis (VEE) virus or Rift Valley fever virus.

متن کاملMechanisms of man's resistance to infectious diseases.
The introduction of chemotherapeutic agents, synthetic as well as those of natural origin, the antibiotics, has greatly altered the treatment and prognosis of infectious diseases. Despite these great advances in therapy, it must be borne in mind that many infections cannot be satisfactorily treated. In this group belong such diseases as the common cold, sinusitis, brucellosis, poliomyelitis, an...
متن کاملNutritional modulation of resistance to infectious diseases.
Dietary characteristics can modulate a bird's susceptibility to infectious challenges and subtle influences due to the level of nutrients or the types of ingredients may at times be of critical importance. This review considers seven mechanisms for nutritional modulation of resistance to infectious disease in poultry. 1) Nutrition may impact the development of the immune system, both in ovo and...
