Studies on the Capacity of Some Polysaccharides to Elicit Antibody Formation in Man
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purified levan is antigenic in man and subcutaneous injection of 1 mg. leads to the production of precipitins and skin sensitivity. Apple amylopectin, maize glycogen, and synthetic polyglucose did not stimulate antibody production in small numbers of individuals injected. Quantitative precipitin studies carried out with several levan preparations employing human antilevan show variations in immunochemical behavior indicating structural differences among levans. Evidence that precipitins formed in response to levan injection are antilevan antibodies was obtained by analysis of specific precipitates formed in the region of antibody excess for ketosugar. Injection of levan giving rise to production of antilevan failed in one individual to give a non-specific anamnestic rise in either antidextran or antiblood group A precipitins. Laminarin, a neutral polysaccharide, was found to give precipitation with normal human sera.

STUDIES ON THE CAPACITY OF SOME POLYSACCHARIDES TO ELICIT ANTIBODY FORMATION IN MAN* BY PETER Z. ALLEN aND ELVIN A. KABAT, PH.D
The demonstration that pneumococcal polysaccharides (1-6) and purified blood group substances (of. reference 7) are antigenic in some species and not in others and the more recent finding that dextrans are antigenic in man (8-10) but not in the rabbit (11, 12) or guinea pig (12) prompted an investigation of the antigenicity of several other purified polysaccharides in human beings. Levan, apple...
متن کاملSulfated polysaccharides purified from two species of Padina improve collagen and epidermis formation in the rat
Sulfated polysaccharides have shown promising effects on wound healing processes along with many other biological activities. The sulfated polysaccharides extracted from two algae species habitats in Persian Gulf were studied in vivo for their effects on collagen formation and epidermal regeneration. The polysaccharides were purified from aqueous extracts of P. tetrastromatica and P. boergeseni...
متن کاملNanoencapsulation and delivery of curcumin using some carbohydrate based systems: A review
Nanoencapsulation is commonly used to improve nutritional properties, rheological behavior and flavor profile of phytochemicals. The particles commonly utilized to encapsulate the functional ingredients are natural polymers such as polysaccharides and proteins. There is an ever-growing interest for use of polysaccharides to encapsulate hydrophobic phytochemicals like curcumin. Curcumin is a pol...
متن کاملSpecific antibody can prevent fungal biofilm formation and this effect correlates with protective efficacy.
One of the most troublesome medical problems today is infection of prosthetic devices with organisms that form polysaccharide biofilms. This combined with increasing antimicrobial drug resistance is making many infectious diseases incurable. Cryptococcus neoformans is a human-pathogenic fungus that has a polysaccharide capsule and can form biofilms in prosthetic medical devices. We developed a ...
متن کاملClassification and Analysis of Troglodytic Architecture, Man-made Cave, in the county of Maragheh
Man-made caves or troglodytic spaces are special kinds of architecture in which no materials are applied for creating the spaces and in turn they are created through decreasing the rocky mass in the ground and rock’s bed by human being. The Man-made caves or troglodytic spaces have been identified and introduced in different parts of the country so far. Maragheh County which is located in the n...
