Adaptive immunity induced by betaglucan in dogs

Betaglucan induces increased production of pro-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds in response to bacterial stimuli. This is the conclusion of a study published in Frontiers in Immunology by a team of French and British researchers. Adaptive immunity Several observations in the world of comparative immunology in plants, insects, fish and eventually mammals led to the discovery ofadaptive, or acquired,immunity in the early 2010s. It differs from innate immunity-originally described for its immediate and short-lived response-by its ability to react to a broad spectrum of pathogens, but without specific recognition and lack of immune...
