Laminaran is an β-1-3-glucan and a typical ligand for Dectin-1 from Eisenia Bicyclis, has potent immunomodulating, radioprotective, and anticancer activities. Laminaran is made up of β (1→3)-glucan with β (1→6)-branches and can be catalyzed by enzymes such as laminarinase (EC 3.2.1.6) that breaks the β (1→3) bonds. Laminaran is a promising immune stimulatory molecule for use in cancer immunotherapy.

Description

Laminaran is an β-1-3-glucan and a typical ligand for Dectin-1 from Eisenia Bicyclis, has potent immunomodulating, radioprotective, and anticancer activities[1]. Laminaran is made up of β (1→3)-glucan with β (1→6)-branches and can be catalyzed by enzymes such as laminarinase (EC 3.2.1.6) that breaks the β (1→3) bonds[2]. Laminaran is a promising immune stimulatory molecule for use in cancer immunotherapy[3].

In Vitro

Laminaran (100-800 µg/mL; 24 hours) is not cytotoxic against normal epidermal cells JB6 Cl41 and human melanoma cells SK-MEL-28, the percentage of inhibition of living cells number is less than 15 % at concentrations range up to 800 µg/mL after 24 h of treatment[1].
Laminaran (200 µg/mL; 24-72 hours)does not cause any growth inhibition of SK-MEL-28 cells after 24 and 48 h of treatment, but decreases cells proliferation by 36 % after 72 h of treatment[1].
Laminaran (25-50 µg/mL; 24 hours) at low concentration does not influence the phosphorylation of c-Raf (Ser259), ERK1/2 (Tyr202/Tyr204), and MEK1/2 (Ser 221) kinases as well as total expression level of investigated proteins. But decreases p-MEK, p-ERK1/2 at 50 µg/mL[1].

In Vivo

Laminaran (intravenous injection; 12.5, 25, and 50 mg/kg; 21 days) and OVA (50 μg) combination significanly decreases the tumor masses when it compares with the PBS-, OVA-, and laminarin-treated mice[3].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
