P-Glucans isolation

The present article reviews the existing knowledge on the immunological activity of the fungal P-glucans and provides some recent results on the radioprotective and antimutagenic activity of the P-glucan isolated fr-om the baker s yeast.

To examine the interaction between cortical microtubules and microfibrils more directly, we prepared an isolated plasma membrane sheet with cortical miaotubules from tobbaco cells and demonstrated that p-glucan s)mthases penetrating through the membrane move in the fluid...
