Beta-glucans support both the innate and adaptive branches of the immune system. Beta-glucans have been studied for their ability to modulate immune surveillance against abnormal cells, producing an anti-tumor effect. Beta-glucans are classified as biological response modifiers that interact directly with immune system receptors, including Dectin-1 and Toll-like receptors. Beta-glucans activate macrophages, natural killer cells, and dendritic cells. Beta-glucans are polysaccharides found in the cell walls of mushrooms.
