S. cerevisiae β-glucan reduced viability of mouse hepatoma cells in vitro

β-Glucan is a natural polymer, which is widely studied due to its multiple immunomodulatory properties. In addition, recent findings indicate potent antitumor properties of β-glucan. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, baker’s yeast, is one of the commonly used sources of β-1,3-glucan. The aim of this work was to investigate S. cerevisiae β-glucan immunomodulatory activity against cancer cells.
