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

✦ Synopsis
An inhalation study was undertaken to evaluate the inflammatory effects of airborne endotoxin and (1+3)-P-D-glucan, evaluating the response by counting the number on free lung cells.

A highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay specific to (1→3)-β-Dglucans (GBP-ELISA) has been developed using a novel (1→3)-β-D-glucan-binding protein (T-GBP), which was purified from the amebocyte lysate of the Japanese horseshoe crab, Tachypleus tridentatus. This method allowed quantitati
A chiroptical method of conformational analysis is applied to linear ( 1 + 3 ) -p-D-glucans and the dimeric analogues pand a-laminaribioside. The method is based on a recently developed semiempirical calculational model for saccharide optical activity. We conclude that disaccharide conformational en
The G test containing factor G, fractioned from the Lirnulus lysate, was used to detect (1-3)-b-o-glucan in a rat model of aspergillosis. Aspergillus furnigatus strain MF-13, l x 1 0 4 conidia, were inoculated transtracheally into rats treated with cortisone acetate (100 mg/kg) and fed a low-protein
