摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of using whole glucan particles and complement activating antibodies for antitumor therapy. Whole glucan particles enhance the tumoricidal activity of the innate immune system by binding to the C3 complement protein receptor CR3. This binding enhances innate immune system cytotoxicity, as well as stimulating the release of activating cytokines.
摘要:
The invention relates to methods for treating and preventing radiation and/or chemotherapy related injury and/or afflictions, such as myelosuppression and decreased macrophage activity, by administering a prophylactically or therapeutically effective amount of particulate, bioavailable β(1,3; 1,6) glucan. The invention also relates to methods in which β(1,3; 1,6) glucan is provided in the form of whole glucan particles, microparticulate β-glucan particles or a combination thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods of using whole glucan particles and agents. Whole glucan particles enhance the tumoricidal activity of the innate immune system by binding to the C3 complement protein receptor CR3. This binding enhances innate immune system cytotoxicity, as well as stimulating the release of activating cytokines and enhances the bodies response to the agent.
