Immunomodulatory effect of glucan on the response to experimental antirabies vaccination

Abstract

The objective of lhe present study was to determine the stimulatory response to antirabies vaccination promoted by glucan in mice. Glucan increased both resistance to infection and antibody titres and this effect was more evident when glucan was used at dose of 0.5 mg, administered intraperitoneally before, during and after immunization and when the challenge virus was applied to the foot-pad.

Modulação da resposta imune em aves imunizadas com vacinas aviárias associadas ao b-glucano.

“…Experimentos realizados com aves Leghorn tratados com β-glucano envolvendo a síntese de anticorpos para agentes infecciosos diferentes foram conduzidos por Pedroso et al (2008). (TINO et al, 1993).…”
