Non‐specific immunity and disease resistance are enhanced by the polysaccharide fraction of a marine chlorophycean macroalga in Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758)
Omita Yengkhom,Konda Subramanian Shalini,Parasuraman Aiya Subramani,Rajamani Dinakaran Michael +3 more
TL;DR: Results clearly show that the intraperitoneal administration of the polysaccharide fraction had a stimulating effect on the non‐specific immune responses, immune gene expression and disease resistance.

Renan Akio Motoshima,Tainara da F. Rosa,Léia da C. Mendes,Estefânia Viana da Silva,Sthefany Rodrigues Fernandes Viana,Bruno Sérgio do Amaral,Dulce Helena Ferreira de Souza,Luciano M. Lião,Maria de Lourdes Corradi da Silva,Lorena R.F. de Sousa,Elaine R. Carbonero +10 more
TL;DR: This is the first report of an inhibitory activity of arginase from L. amazonensis by biopolymers, which encourages us to investigate further polysaccharides as a new class of ARG inhibitors.

Innate Immune Recognition
TL;DR: Microbial recognition by Toll-like receptors helps to direct adaptive immune responses to antigens derived from microbial pathogens to distinguish infectious nonself from noninfectious self.
Medicinal mushrooms as a source of antitumor and immunomodulating polysaccharides.
TL;DR: The present review analyzes the pecularities of polysaccharides derived from fruiting bodies and cultured mycelium in selected examples of medicinal mushrooms and concludes that high molecular weight glucans appear to be more effective than those of low molecular weight.

Collaborative Induction of Inflammatory Responses by Dectin-1 and Toll-like Receptor 2
TL;DR: This report examines how dectin-1, a lectin family receptor for β-glucans, collaborates with TLRs in recognizing microbes and demonstrates that collaborative recognition of distinct microbial components by different classes of innate immune receptors is crucial in orchestrating inflammatory responses.
Innate immunity: an overview.
TL;DR: The effector arm of innate immunity has been tackled, largely though the use of biochemical methods, and genetic dissection of innate immune pathways has been pursued with great success in model organisms.
