Toxicology of 1-3-Beta-Glucans covers the basic chemistry and immunobiology of these substances. It begins by introducing current methods for detecting 1-3-beta-glucans in environmental samples and reviewing risk evaluation in the environment. It then discusses numerous topics including likely occupational and environmental exposure, studies suggesting a strong link between environmental glucan concentrations and pulmonary inflammation, and signal transduction pathways and specific receptors. This unique volume pulls together the expertise of leading international researchers to provide a straightforward monograph on the toxicology of 1-3-beta-glucans.
