There is an abundance of literature on the effects of endotoxin after inhalation both in animal and human models. An evaluation of all this information was considered beyond the purview of the work group; the discussion centered on questions relating to the determination of airborne endotoxin in org
A P-D-glucan isolated from a Japanese marine alga known as "Arame" (Eisenia bicyclis) was shown by methylation analysis to be composed of (l-3) and (l-+6) linkages and ( 1+3),(1+6) branch points. The 13C-n.m.r. spectrum confirmed these linkages and also verified the absence of /3-( l-+4) linkages. T
