Different saccharomices cerevisiae β-glucans preparation's effect on murine dendritic cells

摘要

Nowadays non-cellulosic, β-glucans from the different source are intensively investigated due to the fact that these biological polymers are recognized as potent immunological stimulators for the mammal's immune system. Dendritic cells are the most important antigen presenting cells for activating naive T cells. The research goals of the recent investigation were to determine how the different molecular weight Saccharomyces cerevisiae β- glucan preparations affect such properties of the murine DC as phagocytosis, proliferation and cytokine synthesis in vitro.
