Chemiluminescence response of beta-glucan stimulated leukocytes isolated from different tissues and peritoneal cavity of Dicentrarchus labrax.

Only registered users can translate articles

The respiratory burst of leukocytes isolated from sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) pronephros, peritoneal cavity (P.C.), spleen and blood, was measured by a chemiluminescence (CL) assay after stimulation with beta-glucan. The CL response by P.C. and pronephros leukocytes was significantly higher than

Effect of nitric oxide on beta-glucan/indomethacin-induced septic shock.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have previously shown that repeated administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to mice treated with beta-glucan, a biological response modifier, induced severe lethality. The lethality would be strongly related to the translocation of enterobacterial flora to the peritoneal

Oat beta-glucan effects on neutrophil respiratory burst activity following exercise.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fatiguing exercise has been associated with a decrease in certain functions of neutrophils, whereas moderate exercise has generally been associated with an increase. Consumption of oat beta-glucan (ObetaG), a soluble fiber and mild immune system enhancer, may offset the immunosuppression associated

The diagnostic performance of the beta-glucan assay in the detection of intra-amniotic infection with Candida species.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND A bioassay based on the detection of beta-glucan, a constituent of the cell wall of fungi, has been successfully used to diagnose fungal infections in a variety of biological fluids but not yet in the amniotic fluid. OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic performance of a beta-glucan

Differential release of MIP-1alpha and eotaxin during infection of mice by Histoplasma capsulatum or inoculation of beta-glucan.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE In the present study, we evaluated the levels of MIP-1alpha and eotaxin and in vivo migration in the peritoneal cavity model, in mice inoculated with live yeast forms of Histoplasma capsulatum or the beta-glucan cell wall component of this fungus, and the influence of a leukotriene

Leukotrienes are involved in leukocyte recruitment induced by live Histoplasma capsulatum or by the beta-glucan present in their cell wall.

1. The inflammatory cell influx towards the peritoneal cavity in mice inoculated i.p. with live or dead Histoplasma capsulatum or with its subcellular preparations was studied. We also evaluated the effects of dexamethasone (Dexa) or MK886, an inhibitor of leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis, on the

Molecular details of ligand selectivity determinants in a promiscuous β-glucan periplasmic binding protein.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Members of the periplasmic binding protein (PBP) superfamily utilize a highly conserved inter-domain ligand binding site that adapts to specifically bind a chemically diverse range of ligands. This paradigm of PBP ligand binding specificity was recently altered when the structure of the

Antigen uptake and immunoadjuvant activity of pathogen-mimetic hollow silica particles conjugated with β-glucan.

The aim of vaccines is to imitate the immune responses induced by pathogen infection without causing disease. Therefore, strategies of designing vaccine delivery systems by mimicking key features of pathogens are often used. For this purpose, the present study prepares pathogen-mimicking

Distribution of (1->4)-beta-galactans, arabinogalactan proteins, xylans and (1->3)-beta-glucans in tracheid cell walls of softwoods.

Polysaccharides were located in the walls of normal and compression wood tracheids of Pinus radiata (radiata pine), Picea sitchensis (Sitka spruce) and Picea abies (Norway spruce) by transmission electron microscopy using immunogold labelling with monoclonal antibodies to (1-->4)-beta-galactan

Association of immunological disorders in lethal side effect of NSAIDs on beta-glucan-administered mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

(1-->3)-beta-D-Glucan (beta-glucan) is a biological response modifier that regulates host immune response. We have found that the combination of a beta-glucan and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), indomethacin (IND), induced lethal toxicity in mice [Yoshioka et al. (1998) FEMS Immunol.

Anti-inflammatory activity of Dasyphyllum brasiliensis (Asteraceae) on acute peritonitis induced by beta-glucan from Histoplasma capsulatum.

Only registered users can translate articles

The tea prepared from leaves and thorns of Dasyphyllum brasiliensis (Asteraceae) is used in the traditional medicine in Brazil for the treatment of oral and oropharyngeal diseases. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory activity of this plant. The aqueous crude extract (ACE), the

Synthesis and stabilization of gold nanoparticles induced by denaturation and renaturation of triple helical β-glucan in water.

Only registered users can translate articles

We report on a green procedure for the synthesis and stabilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from chlorauric acid (HAuCl4) with the use of a β-glucan known as Lentinan (LNT) without external reducing or stabilizing agents in aqueous medium. LNT adopted triple helical conformation in water, which

Method for hull-less barley transformation and manipulation of grain mixed-linkage beta-glucan.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hull-less barley is increasingly offering scope for breeding grains with improved characteristics for human nutrition; however, recalcitrance of hull-less cultivars to transformation has limited the use of these varieties. To overcome this limitation, we sought to develop an effective transformation

Immunomodulatory activities of oat beta-glucan in vitro and in vivo.

Only registered users can translate articles

Previous studies have shown that beta-glucans extracted from yeast or fungi potentiate immune responses. In the present study, the immunomodulatory activities of beta-(1-->3,1-->4)-glucan, derived from oats, were investigated. The ability of oat beta-glucan (ObetaG) to stimulate IL-1 and TNF-alpha

Beta-glucan, extracted from oat, enhances disease resistance against bacterial and parasitic infections.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effect of beta-glucan, extracted from oats, on the enhancement of resistance to infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Eimeria vermiformis was studied in mice. In vitro study using macrophages isolated from the peritoneal cavity showed that beta-glucan treatment significantly enhanced
